Koudijs Kapo Feed is opening its first fish feed factory in Egypt. The capacity of the factory will be 150,000 tons per year.
Koudijs Kapo Feed, a joint venture with the Dutch group De Heus, will open its first fish feed factory in Alexandria, Egypt, with a capacity to produce up to 150,000 tonnes per year. The modern plant, located in Borg Al-Arab, covers 12,000 square meters and is considered one of Egypt's largest fish feed factories. With this investment, the Dutch group aims to strengthen its position in the African country and meet the growing demand for aquaculture feed that is expected to be registered there. In addition, the products will have competitive prices for their high quality, and will comply with international standards, since Koudijs Kapo Feeds has the ISO 22000 and 9001 quality certifications.
One of the founding partners of Koudijs Kapo Feed, Alaa Kamar said: “Our partnership with the Dutch international and family-owned feed-producing company Royal De Heus gave us additional experience which allowed us to gain a huge market advantage in Egypt, given that De Heus enjoys more than 100 years of experience in the animal nutrition market, alongside its ownership of factories in 14 countries worldwide.”
