POFASA experienced a sustained growth rate of 11 percent throughout the last few years , with exception of 2014 and 2015 , when market conditions resulted in only a 4 percent growth .
An increase in production is expected after the processing plant ’ s expansion . The company ’ s staff will keep attending workshops , taking part in conferences , congresses and other gatherings within the industry . Exports have been considered , but there is still plenty of pending work to achieve in such area ; steps for exports will be thoroughly reviewed before receiving a green light .
“ The poultry market in Ecuador is wide open ; too many producers came in already and saturated the market ,” Jorge Villamizar said .
