Godrej Agrovet | One company spanning everything from animal feed to chicken and frozen food

2026.09.19

Article summary

Godrej Agrovet is an agriculture and food company under the Godrej Group. Animal feed accounted for 46% of FY2026 revenue, covering feed for cattle, layer hens, broilers, shrimp, and fish. It also handles crop protection, oil palm, dairy (the "Jersey" brand from subsidiary Creamline Dairy Products), and chicken/frozen food ("Real Good Chicken" and "Yummiez" from Godrej Tyson Foods). Godrej Tyson Foods began in 2008 as a joint venture with US-based Tyson, and became a wholly owned subsidiary in August 2024 when Godrej Agrovet bought out the remaining 49% for ₹323 crore (1 crore = 10 million rupees). FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) consolidated revenue was ₹10,233 crore (up from ₹9,383 crore the previous year). It runs a structure where chicken is bought back from the same farmers it sold feed to and processed in-house, keeping everything from raw material to finished product within the same group. The similarly named Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL) handles household and personal care items such as soap and insecticides, and does not deal in food.

Feed accounts for half of revenue

About half of revenue is animal feed, covering cattle, egg-laying hens, broilers, shrimp, and fish. India's livestock and aquaculture sectors have many small-scale producers, and a feed maker sits in a position directly connected to them.

This position pays off when combined with downstream business. The company buys chickens from farmers it sold feed to and processes them in-house into finished products, running everything from raw material to finished product within the same group.

On the food side, the pillars are "Jersey" from dairy subsidiary Creamline Dairy Products, and "Yummiez" (frozen foods) and "Real Good Chicken" (poultry) from Godrej Tyson Foods. Godrej Tyson Foods began in 2008 as a joint venture with Tyson of the United States, but in August 2024 Godrej Agrovet bought the remaining 49% for ₹323 crore, making it a wholly owned subsidiary.

Distinguishing it from a similarly named company

Godrej Consumer Products (GCPL) is part of the same Godrej Group but handles household goods and personal care such as soap, insecticides, hair color, and pet food, and is not in the food business. Its similar name makes it easy to confuse, but the group's food business is handled by Godrej Agrovet.

Indian conglomerates often have multiple listed companies under similar names. When looking for a trading partner, it's necessary to check the business segment, not just the company name.

Consolidated revenue for FY2026 (fiscal year ended March 2026) was ₹10,233 crore, up from ₹9,383 crore in FY2025.

Points for Japanese companies

Because everything from feed to chicken and frozen food is held within one group, negotiating terms for chicken sourcing or contract manufacturing of frozen processed food can trace back to the raw material. You can confirm with the same company what the chicken was fed and where it was processed.

Indian chicken has a limited track record of exports to Japan, so quarantine and facility certification requirements need to be checked first. Starting with contract manufacturing of frozen processed food for the domestic market moves things along faster.
