The company expands its Asian footprint by acquiring CJ Feed & Care’s feed operations across five countries, adding 17 production facilities to its global network.

Royal De Heus has signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire CJ Feed & Care's complete feed operations in Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, South Korea and the Philippines. The deal strengthens De Heus’ position in Asia and gives the Dutch company direct access to two new markets: South Korea and the Philippines. The acquisition includes 17 feed mills dedicated to livestock and aquaculture nutrition.

De Heus said the transaction aligns with its long-term strategy of supporting independent farmers with high-quality feed, genetics and technical support. “This acquisition marks a significant step in strengthening our footprint across Asia,” said Gabor Fluit, CEO of Royal De Heus. He added that combining De Heus’ animal nutrition expertise with CJ Feed & Care’s local market presence will create more value for customers and contribute to a more resilient food system.

The takeover still requires regulatory approvals and is expected to be finalized in the first half of 2026.

Founded in 1911, Royal De Heus operates in more than 75 countries and has over 100 production sites globally. CJ Feed & Care, a subsidiary of South Korea’s CJ Group, is among Asia’s key feed producers, particularly in swine, poultry and aquaculture segments.
