Edwin de Ridder - Head of Logistics

Purchasing raw materials is an important aspect when producing animal feed. But even if we buy the right raw materials, it doesn't mean that they are also available for incorporating in the feed. Edwin de Ridder is head of logistics in the purchasing department. Together with his team, he ensures that all the purchased raw materials are delivered to the factories at exactly the right moment.

Royal De Heus has signed the conditional agreement for the complete acquisition of the poultry slaughter houses from Van Miert Breukelen and Mieki Hunsel recently. With two production sites and a total slaughter capacity of 850,000 chicks per week, Van Miert has a strong market position. With this step, the slaughter capacity in the Netherlands remains guaranteed. The proposed acquisition has yet to be approved by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).

Supporting a nation on the road to self-sufficiency

In his 3 years working as export manager at Koudijs, Mark Hop had seen the needs of his customers and the market in Ivory Coast change more and more. Another thing he’d noticed was the government’s shift in focus to self-sufficiency in animal proteins. That meant tremendous opportunities for people engaged in agriculture. “Especially for livestock farmers to grow their businesses and for arable farmers to produce raw materials for feed production.”

Helping farmers in South Africa reduce their use of antibiotics

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to human and animal health. De Heus is committed to not only eliminating antibiotics from its feed by 2030, but also to helping farmers reduce their use of antibiotics as a preventive measure against disease. The EU has already introduced regulations restricting the routine use of antibiotics in agriculture, but in countries like South Africa, legislation governing antibiotics is still lenient. As a result, administering antibiotics to animals is an everyday practice on South African farms.
