President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev laid the foundation stone for the brooding egg production factory of the “Hijaz Gushchulug” poultry enterprise in the Jabrayil district.

Safar Sadigov, the founder of "Hijaz" LLC, provided the President with details about the facility.

The enterprise will comprise three sections: brooding eggs, an incubator, and a feed factory. In the first phase, 24 brooding egg production units, each covering 1,600 square meters, will be constructed on a 30-hectare site, with an expected annual output of 24 million brooding eggs.

Additionally, a feed factory with a capacity of 40 tons per hour, along with an administrative building, will be established on a 2-hectare plot. A refrigerated warehouse and an incubation facility with an annual capacity of 24 million eggs will also be developed on another 2 hectares.

The facility will utilize modern equipment throughout the production process. To ensure product quality, a laboratory equipped with advanced technology will also be established.

The project is anticipated to create 150 permanent jobs.
