Optimising feed production in Egypt

In the northeast of Egypt, aquaculture is showing huge potential as a sustainable source of animal protein. Sustainably producing animal protein is the sum of all its parts; from the sourcing of raw materials and the processing in the factory, to optimising feed conversion. Building on its experience in the poultry sector, De Heus invested in a new aquafeed production plant in Borg El Arab, Alexandria. Here, Amro El Kady and Yasmine Kamar try to optimise the production of animal feed day in and day out.

Achieving local impact as a supplier of animal feed

The strategy of De Heus is twofold. In several countries De Heus has its own operating companies and factories, in other countries De Heus supplies the local market through Koudijs, its export organisation. Koudijs’ position as an animal feed supplier brings its own unique characteristics to supporting customers, says Harry Schimmel, Sales Manager for the African and the Middle Eastern markets. Having worked and lived in both Ethiopia and Myanmar for several years, he can share more about Koudijs’ role in developing countries.
