Poultry and egg exporters for Japan: an evidence directory for Colombia, India and Peru
For buyers in Japan, the five origins narrow to two evidenced supply routes. Colombia: Japan's Animal Quarantine Service lists seven designated poultry-meat establishments run by five companies (list of 31 January 2025), and ICA reported the first Colombian chicken export to Japan, by Pollos El Bucanero S.A., on 7 October 2025. India: Japan recorded USD 13.9 million of egg-product imports from India in 2025, and two Indian egg-powder manufacturers name Japan as a market on their own websites. Peru has poultry conditions with Japan but has been suspended for avian influenza since 2 December 2022, and no Peruvian establishment list was found. Ecuador and Kenya have no route. Every entry below shows what is evidenced and what still needs verification; none is an approval, ranking or recommendation.

How to read this directory
- Only entities with a fetched official or company source are listed; names are written as the source writes them.
- Roles are stated only where a source supports them; certifications are shown only as the company states them, with validity marked as needing verification.
- A designation or a past shipment is not proof that a shipment today is admissible: avian-influenza suspensions and certificate conditions change.
- Listing order follows the official register or the alphabet; it is not a ranking. We do not publish contact details — our team makes any approach on a buyer's behalf.
Colombia: establishments designated for poultry meat to Japan
Japan's register for Colombian fresh poultry meat (updated 31 January 2025) lists the establishments below. The current animal health requirements for Colombian poultry meat are dated 30 September 2026 and cover poultry meat and poultry-meat products, not table eggs. Colombia's latest nationwide avian-influenza suspension ran from 2 July to 16 September 2026.
| Company (as registered) | Establishment no. and location | Role evidenced | Japan evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OPERADORA AVICOLA COLOMBIA S.A.S. | 004AD Girón, Santander; 005AD Pereira, Risaralda | Poultry-meat establishment (designation) | Designated; no shipment evidence found | Needs verification: shipments, products, certifications |
| AVSA S.A. | 054AD Cereté – Ciénaga de Oro road, Córdoba | Poultry-meat establishment (designation) | Designated; no shipment evidence found | Needs verification: shipments, products, certifications |
| INVERSIONES EL DORADO S.A.S | 069AD Duitama, Boyacá | Poultry-meat establishment (designation) | Designated; no shipment evidence found | Needs verification: shipments, products, certifications |
| POLLOS EL BUCANERO S.A | 139AD Villa Gorgona, Valle del Cauca; 251AD Arjona, Bolívar | Producer, processor and exporter (ICA names it as exporter; part of Cargill Food Latinoamérica) | First Colombian chicken export to Japan (ICA, 7 Oct 2025) | Partly verified; no certification evidenced |

India: egg-powder manufacturers with export evidence
India is not a listed origin for poultry meat or table eggs, but spray-dried egg powder falls under a separate Animal Quarantine criterion, and Japan reported USD 13.9 million of HS 0408 egg-product imports from India in 2025. APEDA, India's export-development authority, lists Japan among major poultry-product export destinations for 2025-26 (DGCIS data). The manufacturers below are named because their own pages describe egg-powder manufacturing for export.
- Ask each supplier which product form and process applies (spray-dried powder versus liquid or frozen egg), because the quarantine treatment differs.
- Ask for current certificate copies with scope, site and expiry; a logo or statement on a website is not proof.
- The VH Group plant belongs to Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited according to the group page; do not assume it is the listed company Venky's (India) Limited.
| Company | Region | Roles and products (company-stated) | Japan evidence | Certifications as stated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ovobel Foods Limited | Bengaluru, Karnataka | Egg-product manufacturer and exporter: whole-egg, yolk and albumen powder; pasteurised frozen egg | Company page names Japan among key markets (undated) | HACCP-based practice statement only; Needs verification |
| SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited | Erode, Tamil Nadu | Integrated egg-product manufacturer with own layer farm and feed mill: whole-egg, yolk and albumen powder | Company page cites customers in Japan (undated) | ISO 22000, BRC, Halal; ISO 17025 lab (company-stated; Needs verification of scope and validity) |
| Venkateshwara Hatcheries Private Limited (VH Group) | Hyderabad, Telangana (egg-powder plant) | Poultry group with a 100% export-oriented egg-powder plant: whole-egg, yolk and albumen powders | Japan not named on the pages read — Needs verification | None found — Needs verification |
Peru, Ecuador and Kenya: no usable route today
Peru has animal health conditions with Japan for poultry meat, but the whole country has been suspended for avian influenza since 2 December 2022, and no Peruvian establishment was found on Japan's poultry facility index. SENASA said on 4 September 2025 that Japan is on its negotiation agenda for poultry meat; that is a negotiation, not restored access.
Ecuador and Kenya have no route for poultry meat or table eggs to Japan. Their national poultry bodies — CONAVE in Ecuador and the Kenya Poultry Farmers Association — represent producers and are not exporters to Japan.
Procurement comparison by origin and product
| Route | Access evidence | Supplier evidence | Checks before contracting |

| India → Japan, egg powder | Separate quarantine criterion for spray-dried powder; USD 13.9 million HS 0408 imports in 2025 | Two manufacturers name Japan; one export plant without Japan evidence | Process (spray-dried), food-safety documents, certificate validity, residue and microbiology tests |
| Peru → Japan, poultry or eggs | Suspended since 2 Dec 2022 | No designated establishment found | Do not plan supply until the suspension is lifted |
| Ecuador or Kenya → Japan | No route found | Trade bodies only | Not a sourcing route for Japan |
Seasonality
We found no official or industry source describing seasonal export supply of egg powder or chicken from these origins. Rather than assume a calendar, ask each supplier for its production and shipment schedule, minimum lead time and its plan if an avian-influenza suspension stops a route.

Buyer questions
- Which Colombian plants can export chicken to Japan?
- Japan's register for Colombian fresh poultry meat (31 January 2025) lists seven establishments of five companies: Operadora Avícola Colombia (004AD, 005AD), AVSA (054AD), Inversiones El Dorado (069AD), Pollos El Bucanero (139AD, 251AD) and Avidesa de Occidente (141AD). Designation does not guarantee that a shipment is admissible today; check suspensions and the certificate.
- Has Colombia actually shipped chicken to Japan?
- Yes. ICA reported on 7 October 2025 that Colombia exported chicken to Japan for the first time, through Cargill Food Latinoamérica (Pollos El Bucanero S.A.). Colombia had sanitary admissibility since 2015, according to ICA.
- Which Indian companies supply egg powder to Japan?
- SKM Egg Products Export (India) Limited and Ovobel Foods Limited name Japan as a market on their own websites. Japan recorded USD 13.9 million of egg-product imports from India in 2025. Company statements are not approvals: confirm product form, documents and certificates for each shipment.
- Are the certifications listed here verified?
- No. Certifications are shown only as each company states them. Ask for current certificate copies with scope, site and expiry before contracting.
- Can I contact these suppliers through HatchMatch directly?
- No. HatchMatch does not publish contact details or open direct buyer–supplier chats. Our team approaches suppliers on your behalf after reviewing your brief, and your identity is disclosed only with your specific consent.
