Kivides Poultry Production highlights how in Cyprus is more than tourism and farming, building also on processing, logistics and specialist manufacturing. Represents the large-scale poultry farming industry, a key part of the Cypriot agricultural economy. The site sits within a network of small family-run firms, modern food and construction-material facilities, energy and craft workshops, supported by a steadily digitising infrastructure and clear environmental rules. For travellers interested in economic history or industrial design, this kind of location features a rarely told side of Cyprus: working plants, port terminals, warehouses, distribution hubs and workshops that guidebooks usually skip.

📋 Practical info
What is this place?
Kivides Poultry Production represents Cyprus’s large-scale poultry farming industry, a key branch of the Cypriot agricultural economy. It supplies the domestic market with fresh chicken meat and eggs, creating jobs in rural areas.
Visiting
The production facilities are generally not open to the public as they are closed agricultural operations. From the surrounding roads, however, the extensive halls and barns of the site are visible.
Where to view it
A good viewpoint is on the main road between Kivides and the highway, from which the poultry farm buildings are visible. From the hills above Kivides, a panoramic view of the entire agricultural area opens up.
Local products
In the region, besides poultry meat and eggs, grain is also grown as feed. Local markets offer fresh eggs and chicken directly from the producer, often together with seasonal vegetables and herbs.
Active season
Poultry production runs year-round as demand for fresh meat and eggs is constant. Ahead of local holidays such as Easter and Christmas, demand rises, so production is then ramped up.
Nearby
A visit to the Kivides site can be combined with exploring the nearby Kourion Monastery and the ancient site of Amathous. The beaches of Limassol and the Akrotiri Salt Lake also make for good day trips.
