Danes open new plant in Africa

DANISH feed firm Aller Aqua has officially opened its Ghana feed plant, the company announced last month.

The factory, in Senchi Amanfrom, will supply tilapia and catfish farms along the Volta River. Some 80 customers, business partners, industry officials and politicians attended the opening ceremony.

Emmanuel Ofosu, country director for Ghana, greeted the guests and said he received many inquiries and contacts for further collaboration.

Niels Lundgaard, commercial director for Aller Aqua in Africa, said: ‘The opening day was a result of months of hard work, and we are glad to be able to start offering fish feed to the Ghanaian aquaculture sector from our local company, Aller Aqua Ghana Limited.

‘Aller Aqua essentially help the farmers grow their businesses by providing high quality fish feed, which leads to faster growth, healthier fish and thus a better end product.

‘This is our aim in all the countries we are represented in, and was a key parameter in our decision in starting Aller Aqua Ghana.’

The company is also building a feed facility in Zambia and is expanding capacity in its successful operation in Egypt. Africa is going to be a core market for the Aller Aqua Group in the future, said Henrik T. Halken, vice chair of Aller Aqua. Zam
