About Astral Foods
Astral Foods is one of South Africa's largest integrated poultry producers, running a vertically integrated operation that spans animal feed, broiler farming, and chicken processing and distribution. Its brands include County Fair, Goldi and Festive, supplying fresh and frozen chicken to retailers, wholesalers and food-service customers. Listed on the JSE, Astral's profitability is squeezed between feed input costs (maize and soya) and chicken selling prices, and is also exposed to load-shedding, water supply and avian-influenza risks. As a major protein producer, it is a barometer of South African food-production economics and consumer demand for affordable protein.
