SustainabilityIntroduction of the responsible feeding programme
As the world population continues to grow – to an estimated 9.8 billion people in 2050 – so does the need for access to affordable, safe and healthy food. The World Resources Institute estimates that we will see a 56 percent increase in the global demand for food, and an increase of nearly 70 percent in the demand for animal-based food. This is a major challenge that requires a critical look at the food production chains we are part of.

TraineeshipArno Willemink – COO Asia
Growing up on a dairy farm, as a child Arno Willemink (32) was naturally already involved in the livestock business. His Industrial Engineering and Management degree at the University of Twente would not lead him directly to the agriculture sector. In 2012, however, he embarked on an internship for De Heus Vietnam, doing market research about the Myanmar market which De Heus was planning to open up. This made him aware of the opportunities for Dutch agricultural companies abroad. After completing his master’s degree in Financial Engineering and Management, he started as Trainee Purchasing & Trading in 2015. Since 2018 Arno has lived in Asia, first as Purchasing Director Asia in Vietnam and since 2022 as COO Asia.
