Agrifirm and Protix alliance
A story from EuroTier piqued the interest of many readers in the past few weeks.
Dutch feed and agribusiness group, Agrifirm, and insect protein and oils producer, Protix, announced that they will be collaborating on a range of new initiatives using insect-based ingredients in products for the broiler, layer and pig sectors in the Netherlands, and beyond, as well as targeted applications for soil improvement.
Dick Hordijk, Agrifirm’s CEO, said the group sees a clear opportunity to develop more products such as OERei, which is Protix’s live larvae fed egg brand, stocked by Netherlands supermarket giant, Albert Heijn, and is also in the stores of a more regional Dutch food retailer.
