What Ibratas Trading Company does

Ibratas Trading Company (ITC) is a Bangladesh-based, privately held B2B trading company that imports and distributes animal feed ingredients, additives, and bulk feed commodities to feed manufacturers and integrated sister concerns across the country. The company serves four primary product categories — Poultry, Aqua (aquaculture), Cattle, and Commodities — with a portfolio spanning protein meals (soybean, fish, poultry, krill, canola, rapeseed, corn gluten), energy sources (maize, DDGS), mineral supplements (limestone, MCP, DCP), amino acids (L-Lysine), oils (fish oil, poultry oil), and fiber sources (rice bran, wheat bran, palm kernel meal, DORB). Named enterprise customers include RRP Agro Farms, ACI Animal Health Ltd., and CP Bangladesh Co Ltd., all relationship-based B2B buyers sourcing specialty raw materials for downstream feed production.

ITC sources products globally from a diversified supplier roster spanning four continents, including Cargill, ADM, Bunge, Ajinomoto, Evonik, OCP, Aker Biomarine, CJ Group, Almarai, and Adisseo. Origins cited across the product catalog include the USA, Brazil, Argentina, China, India, Morocco, Norway, Malaysia, Tanzania, Kenya, Australia, Canada, and Saudi Arabia. The company operates a headquarters in Uttara, Dhaka and two offices in Chattogram (port-city operations at Dampara and registered office in Khatunganj), with distribution supported by regional stations across Bangladesh. There is no proprietary technology platform; the operating model is a sales-led direct trading business with quote-based, inquiry-only pricing and no public rate cards.

Commercially, ITC is positioned as the holding company for a vertically integrated group: Astha Feed Industries Limited (feed manufacturing), Astha Foods Limited (food processing), Astha Poultry & Hatchery, Arham Agro Farms, and H&K Products. The group traces its origins to 1971 (post-independence Bangladesh) and was formalized under the Ibratas Trading Company banner in the early 2000s by the second generation. The company is family-owned with no disclosed external capital, no patents or certifications, no AI/ML capabilities, and limited public financial disclosure — revenue figures are not reported in available sources.
