Unga Holding and its dutch partners opened a new fish feed factory plant in Nairobi. The new plant has a production capacity of 5000 tons per year of high quality fish feed.
A new fish feed factory opened in Nairobi as a result of collaboration between Unga Holding and its Dutch partners operating in East Africa. The new feed plant is designed to produce 5,000 tonnes per year of high quality floating fish feed for the East African market. It is the first establishment of this size in the region, and responds to the high demand for quality fish feed, the single biggest impediment to the growth of the aquaculture sector in the area. It also gives local producers an opportunity to increase their output and lower their productions costs per kg. Unga Holdings Chairman, Isabella Ochola Wilson, said: "In line with our vision of ‘Nutrition for Life’, Unga has taken a bold step – investing, with the support of funding from the Dutch government, 225 million Kenya shillings (about £1.76 million) in a state-of-the-art fish feed production facility to serve an aquaculture industry still in its infancy."
