On November 11, the Beijing Pinggu Agricultural Zhongguancun White-Feathered Broiler Forum was held at the Shanghai Tower, bringing together business representatives from Tanzania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and other countries. At the forum, "WOD 178", a new domestically developed white-feather broiler breed, was officially unveiled. Strategic cooperation agreements were also signed in two major sectors: international laying hen breeding and international broiler breeding.

In the international laying hens sector, two demonstration parks for parent-stock layer chicken production will be established in Pakistan and Nigeria, respectively. Each project will feature an integrated industrial chain encompassing chick rearing, breeding stock raising, and hatching of breeding eggs.

In the international broilers sector, grandparent-stock breeding projects are planned in Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia. In Uzbekistan, the project will involve 60,000 sets of broiler chicken grandparent stock, supported by large-scale laying houses, brooding houses, and a hatchery with an annual capacity of tens of millions of hatching eggs. Upon completion, the project is expected to promote 500 million commercial broiler chickens annually across the five Central Asian countries, as well as Afghanistan, Russia, Belarus, and other markets.

In Saudi Arabia, the project will extend further along the industrial chain. Plans include a farm with a capacity of 240,000 sets of parent stock, a commercial broiler farm with an annual output of 30 million birds, and a slaughterhouse with an annual processing capacity of 30 million birds. Together, these facilities will form an integrated closed-loop industrial chain covering breeding stock, farming, and slaughter, directly serving consumer demand for chicken meat in the Gulf market.

In Tanzania, a phased development strategy will be adopted, driven by both layer and broiler chicken breeds. The first phase will involve the establishment of 20,000 sets of "Jinghong No. 1" layer chicken grandparent stock. Once the project reaches full production capacity, it will be expanded to include 60,000 sets of WOD broiler chicken grandparent stock. The products will serve markets across the East African Community and neighboring regions.

Unlike the conventional exports of breeding stock and chicks, this cooperation marks an upgrade of Beijing's seed industry model, shifting towards the comprehensive export of "breeds, technologies, and management expertise". In addition to supplying high-quality breeding stock of the Jing series of layer chickens and the WOD series of broiler chickens, Beijing will also provide supporting breeding technologies, disease prevention and control solutions, and farm management systems. These efforts will help partner countries establish localized poultry breeding systems, promote the upgrading of their domestic poultry industries, and strengthen their capacity for self-sufficiency in meat and egg production.
