United Ivory, a provider of prefabricated closed-house systems for poultry and pig farms, is gaining traction in the Philippines. The company blends international standards with local adaptability to support livestock modernization.
It found more than just market interest at ILDEX Philippines/The Philippine Poultry Show 2025—it discovered a readiness for change.
“Our participation at the event allowed us to directly interact with decision makers and industry leaders,” said Kheng Kheng Yeong, United Ivory’s Business Development Manager.
“This helped us validate the growing demand and readiness in the Philippines for more efficient and sustainable housing solutions.”
In response, the Malaysia-based company refined its strategy to focus on local partnerships, technical support, and affordable systems tailored to Philippine farm conditions.
Ready for practical innovation
Interest at the show was strong. Farmers and integrators were eager to explore practical solutions that improve long-term efficiency.
“Compared to other markets we’ve entered, the Philippines stands out for its openness to adopt international best practices,” Ms Yeong noted.
Government representatives also showed interest in modernization, creating a supportive environment for innovation. Filipino producers raised specific concerns, including energy efficiency, corrosion resistance, and durability against typhoons.
“While biosecurity and climate control are already recognized as essential, farmers are now focused on fast-build solutions for shorter return on investment,” she pointed out.
These priorities led United Ivory to offer more customized systems that meet local needs.
Regional model for sustainable growth
Over the next 3-5 years, the company aims to become the leading provider of prefabricated closed-house systems for poultry and pig farms in the Philippines.
“We intend to support the modernization of livestock farming by delivering systems that combine international standards with local adaptability,” Ms Yeong explained.
The biggest takeaway from the show was the alignment between productivity, energy efficiency, animal welfare and environmental compliance.
“This wasn’t unexpected, but it confirms that our solutions are well-positioned for long-term impact,” she remarked.
United Ivory plans to apply this sustainability-driven model across Southeast Asia, where similar trends are emerging.
ILDEX Philippines/The Philippine Poultry Show 2025 was held in Manila on August 27-29. The twin events are organized by VNU Asia Pacific, Deltaman, the United Broiler Raisers Association, and the Philippine Eggboard Association. The next edition is set for August 2026.
