SustainabilityHealthy fish need clean water
All around the world, the mismanagement of plastic waste is a big issue. As the waste carries over to nearby rivers and leaks into our oceans, the waters in which many of De Heus’ customers grow their fish are increasingly polluted. One day a year, De Heus Myanmar aqua feed factory workers take it to the streets of Yangon to raise awareness about the global plastic problem. In charge of coordinating the troops is Rachel Twhe, project manager at De Heus Myanmar.

PremixWorld-class formulation capabilities lead to predictable results on the farm
Nutrient profiles are critical when it comes formulating effective premixes - or any other type of feed for that matter. De Heus is a front runner in formulation because each premix is designed to deliver consistent animal performance after the premix and raw materials are blended together. Han Verdonk, Team Leader Formulations Premix & Specialties, talks to us about De Heus’ centralised approach to premix animal feed formulation and how the interplay between the global premix animal feed formulation team and local business units benefits animal production.

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.
