Udaipur to Raipur

Another day another flight... how many times will we pass thorugh Delhi Airport on this trip.
We are off down to Raipur in Chattisgarh. Its a bit lower down (sort of middleish) in India.


giant feed plant
no health and safety!!
We are meeting with Ricky, who sells drugs to chicken farms. He has arranged or us to meet with Abis Group run by Mr Bahadur Ali an inspiring character who has built up an actual empire from small broiler farm of 10,000 birds to a chicken turnover of 2.5 million chickens per cycle 7 times a year, 1 million layers (in battery houses) 250,000 brreeding chickens, 2500 Holstein cross cows, 1000 milking buffalo, one of the biggest animal and aqua feed plants in india, a rendering plant and a fertilizer plant. Alan Sugar eat your heart out!!
these guys lifted 70kg bags on the truck


First we visit the feed plant. it makes cattle, chicken, dog and fish feeds. It is easy to see that regulation is not as strict in India. only the managers seemd to wear PPE, I don't think you can get steel toe cap bare feet. I rmember having to lift 50kg bags as a kid, but these guys were lifting 75kg bags!! they even get to build the whole factory without needing planning permission.
