SustainabilityOptimising 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.

NewsPerspectives from Management Excellence Programme graduates
At De Heus, leadership is not defined by a title, but by the mindset and commitment to drive meaningful progress. That’s why we invest in people. Our Management Excellence Programme (MEP) is one of the ways we shape the next generation of leaders across our global organisation. Launched in 2023, MEP has already welcomed 38 participants from 14 business units. The programme brings together emerging leaders for a transformative learning experience that equips them with the tools, self-awareness, and strategic insights to lead with clarity, empathy, and impact. MEP is more than a leadership course — it’s a journey of personal and professional growth. Through peer learning, expert coaching, and real-world assignments, participants are encouraged to reflect deeply, challenge assumptions, and lead from a broader perspective.
