Introduction 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.

Arno 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.

How a De Heus plant can support fish farming in Uganda and help feed the nation

In June 2023, De Heus began construction of its first dedicated aquafeed plant in Uganda. Located in Njeru, near Jinja, on the north shore of Lake Victoria, the factory is expected to start operations early next year. Once the facility reaches full capacity, it will produce some 50,000 tons of fish feed per year, helping to support a rapidly developing aquaculture industry. In addition, it will help to improve the diet and food security of the country's growing population and boost local agriculture.
