De Heus has completed the acquisition of CJ Feed Care strengthening its presence in Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia while entering the South Korean and Philippine markets. The transaction comprises 17 feed mills and numerous livestock operations across the region.
The integration of De Heus and CJ Feed & Care’s local expertise is expected to help farmers professionalise operations, improve performance, and increase profitability.
The company also maintains its active role in connecting partners across the animal protein value chain to further support farmers. In collaboration with strategic partners, De Heus intends to increase investment in swine and poultry breeding farms across Asia, aiming to improve customer access to quality genetics inputs.
De Heus plays an important role of helping its customers to improve productivity and efficiency while also enhancing competitiveness of the livestock industries.
In addition, its role in helping customers to sell livestock, eggs, fish, and milk to reliable slaughterhouses, processing companies, and traders will also remain a priority.
According to Gabor Fluit, CEO of De Heus Animal Nutrition, “This acquisition marks an important milestone in our long-term strategy to strengthen our footprint in Asia. By combining CJ Feed & Care’s strong technical expertise and customer relationships with our century-long experience in animal nutrition and farm management, we can accelerate growth and deliver even more value to farmers across the region.”
