Population growth, urbanisation and income growth drive Asia’s feed industry
Although several countries have been challenged by the African Swine Fever (ASF) in 2019, the future looks bright for the animal feed industry in Asia, with a CAGR of around five per cent growth in the next five years.
“In the past two years, we have invested in our own sales organisation in China, headquartered in Qingdao, and can clearly see the impact of being close to our customers with talented industry professionals that fully understand the challenges of the local market. We feel strongly about the potential for our solutions in Asia and will focus on swine and poultry,” concluded Hamlet Protein CEO Erik Visser.
