​​Bumper Broiler Farm Portfolio Offers Unprecidented Scale and Quality ​ 

​​80-shed “VOAG” is one of the largest broiler farms in Australia, comprising modern infrastructure, systems and expert management. ​ 

A portfolio of eighty poultry sheds in the Tabbita district of New South Wales’ Riverina region is being offered for sale in its entirety, with private equity and institutional investors tipped as the most likely suitors to take out the major broiler farming enterprise. 

The VOAG portfolio is being marketed by Colliers and comprises five individual, self-contained farms of 16-sheds each, with the aggregation conveniently situated only 30km north west of Griffith. 

VOAG rears broiler chickens under contractual arrangements with Baiada, one of Australia’s largest chicken meat processors, and has experienced staff residing on each of the farms that are responsible for day-to-day management, providing an attractive investment proposition for institutional or private investors alike. 

Colliers’ National Director, Jesse Manuel describes VOAG as a recently established, turn-key agribusiness enterprise developed to an extremely high standard, offering superior infrastructure, systems and technology. 

“VOAG is a modern agribusiness investment that has been built for financial performance across every aspect of its asset base and business. From its economies of scale driving operational efficiencies, to its high-end equipment driving maximum productive performance,” said Mr Manuel. 

“The enterprise is a highly profitable, institutional-grade investment opportunity that has been developed with an emphasis on sustainability through investment in solar, water preservation and a continued focus on reducing its environmental footprint,” Mr Manuel added.  

The operation covers over 212 hectares of land, with the poultry operation amounting to over 245,000m2 of production area with a current permit capacity of over 5.2 million birds per batch cycle. 

The business benefits from an experienced workforce that would be available to continue under new ownership, with the staff at VOAG some of the most highly regarded personnel in the industry. 

Colliers’ National Director, Duncan McCulloch, noted, “The significant increase in construction costs in recent years, together with enhanced regulatory due diligence, makes an acquisition of a turn-key operation considerably more attractive in today’s market.” 

“Australian agriculture is seen as a safe haven for investment, and we are seeing a record quantum of capital being raised throughout the globe for deployment in high quality assets that offer scale and consistent returns, and that are underpinned by supply contracts and a professional management solution. 

“The ability for investors to deploy more capital through the development of extensive additional shedding is a huge feature, further enhancing economies of scale to drive efficiencies and increase profit margin,” Mr McCulloch added. 

Colliers reports that chicken remains the most popular meat in Australia, with nearly 70% of households serving it at least twice a week. The average per capita consumption of chicken meat in 2024 was over 50kg, reflecting its status as a staple in Australian diets. 

 “Sustainability is a key focus for the industry, with frameworks in place to support the transition to a lower-carbon future, with initiatives including improving energy efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing animal welfare standards.” 

“These efforts are aimed at ensuring the long-term prosperity of the industry while minimising its environmental impact, said Mr McCulloch. 

VOAG operates in accordance with RSPCA standards, and considerable investment has been made in installing solar infrastructure. 

The VOAG portfolio will be offered for sale by Expressions of Interest from late September.
