A De Heus hatchery in Ghana boosts the region's farmers and supports local communities
Last year, De Heus formed a pioneering joint venture with Kuipers Breeders to set up a state-of-the-art hatchery in Ghana producing layer chicks. By supplying a cost-effective alternative to imported layer hens, the partnership aims to help develop egg farming in the region, provide the local population with an affordable source of protein and support rural communities. Theo Smalbraak, Business Group Director Africa & Middle East, De Heus, and Jurjën Kuipers of Kuipers Breeders report on the status of project.
