Special Edition: Feed developments in the Middle East and Africa
Joint ventures in the Middle East and Africa
In 2016, Land O’Lakes and Bidco Africa announced that they would be forming a feed-focused joint venture in East Africa.
Africa offers a high-potential growth market, said Land O’Lakes at the time. And both companies were interested in bringing their feed ranges to the region in the joint venture.
Also in 2016, Nutreco acquired premix and feed company, Advit, as part of its expansion efforts in South Africa. Trouw Nutrition and Advit had already been working together at that point through a strategic alliance.
Meanwhile, the Abu Dhabi-headquartered Agthia Group and Anderson Hay and Grain formed a joint venture in April 2017 to improve the supply of forage and feed products on offer in the United Arab Emirates and the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf.
