Bairaha Farms PLC, being Sri Lanka’s pioneer poultry producer and household name for broiler chicken, recently marked a new milestone in corporate excellence by winning the Best Performance - Platinum Tier 2025/26 award at the Keells Partner Power 2026 supplier convention.

The annual event, hosted by Keells Supermarket, one of Sri Lanka’s retail giants, serves as a high-profile platform to recognise and reward the suppliers who demonstrate unparalleled commitment to the retail ecosystem.

Bairaha Farms Executive Director Riyal Yakoob said, “This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Bairaha team, from our farms to our distribution networks. To be honoured by a retail leader like Keells at the Platinum level validates our ‘Fresh and Quality First’ philosophy and motivates us to continue setting the highest Platinum standard in the industry.”

This year’s award underscores Bairaha’s role as a vital pillar in the nation’s food supply chain. The company proved itself by maintaining the highest food safety and freshness standards that the Keells customers have come to expect, adapting to the evolving consumer tastes with products that bridge the gap between convenience and nutrition and ensuring consistent in supply and availability and efficient logistics, even in a complex and fluctuating market environment.

Moreover, the award reflects a synergistic relationship between the producer and retailer. By aligning its operations with the rigorous quality protocols of Keells, Bairaha has not only boosted its own brand equity but has also contributed to the overall growth of the modern trade sector in Sri Lanka. 

By adhering to these rigorous standards and in being certified with ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP, Bairaha Farms continues to empower Sri Lankan households with quality chicken production while reinforcing its position as a leader.
