De Heus Animal Nutrition (De Heus) completed the acquisition of the compound feed operations of Neovia Indonesia (PT Welgro Feedmill and PT Wirifa Sakti) from ADM. With two compound feed mills located in West-Java and East-Java and total sales volume of 125,000 tonnes in 2019, Welgro and Wirifa focus mainly on the poultry, aqua and swine feed segments. For De Heus Indonesia, the acquisition is an important step in its ambition to become a leading player in the Indonesian animal feed market.
Information source: De Heus press release
Gabor Fluit, Business Group Director De Heus Asia: ‘After our successful entry into Indonesia in 2018 through the acquisition of PT Universal Agri Bisnisindo (UAB) in Bekasi, West Java, this acquisition will accelerate our Indonesian growth strategy. It gives us an excellent opportunity to expand our position in key livestock and aqua farming areas, close to
our existing and potential new customers.’
‘We live in turbulent times due to the Covid-19 virus, as a result the demand for animal feed has decreased slightly. On the longer term we believe markets will recover. De Heus is a company focused on the longer term and dedicated to bring new technology and real progress to the markets in which we operate by working closely together with our customers.’
It is estimated that the size of the animal feed market in Indonesia will increase from 19 million tonnes in 2019 to 22 million tonnes by 2022. Indonesia’s current population is 273 million, making it the largest consumer market for proteins in Southeast Asia. The demand for animal proteins will continue to increase over the coming years due to the growth in disposable income and population as well as the change in consumer preferences.
Gabor Fluit: ‘Since the UAB acquisition, De Heus has replicated its successful market approach developed in other Southeast Asian countries, supporting the further professionalisation of independent farmers in the local livestock and aqua farming sector with premium-quality animal feed products and practical feed and farming advice. In addition, we have improved production processes, invested in technical training of personnel and started
construction of a new production line for aqua and poultry feed at the existing UAB feed mill.’
Kay De Vreese, President Director De Heus Indonesia: ‘We are very pleased that our focus on improving product quality and sharing best practices is recognized and appreciated by a significantly growing customer base in Indonesia. We will continue to implement our investment plans over the coming years.’
He continues: ‘We are very pleased to welcome the Welgro and Wirifa employees as new colleagues to De Heus in Indonesia. We have come to know Welgro and Wirifa as dynamic companies with a focus on continuous improvement, which is an excellent fit with De Heus’ company culture.’
‘The coming year will be an important transition period. We will identify the investments needed in the production processes to improve product quality and increase production capacity. In addition, Welgro and Wirifa will be aligned with De Heus standards so it will create a strong and unified De Heus organization in Indonesia. We will also continue to assess potential opportunities to strengthen our position in the value chain, both organically
and through acquisitions.’

Sir.
I am seeking financing for a mega Aquaculture Project ( Pacific white Shrimp). The timing is perfect for this project. This is the perfect time to invest.
With high unemployment, this is the best time to get Government concession and by the time the virus is over production will be ready for export.
If this Company was in operation today, I would not be able to supply all the orders than comes in daily It was advertised worldwide about 3 years ago, hoping to secure financing and was also listed in the Aquaculture magazine in Europe. Most Aquaculture projects worldwide are not certified but this one will be. I have the orders as proof from Europe Asia and the Middle East.

Mr. Jorge Lango will be the General Manager and will also bring with him all the department heads. My proposed General Manager

former General Manager of SIS ( Shrimp improvement system, USA ).

The proposed Company will have its own feed mill, hatchery, lined grow-out ponds, ( 200 ft. L X 30 Ft. W X 5 Ft. H ). Processing plant,
IQF, and large cold storage. Production will start within 12 months after starting construction with full production within 24 months. At
full production, the Company will be exporting at least 3 refrigerated containers daily Monday to Friday with Saturday production being
stored. Will be producing 21 / 26 count white shrimp ( 2 harvests annually ) with smaller size 3 harvests. At full production, this company will be among the top 15 shrimp exporter in the world based on the published report in 2019 for 2018. ( The last 3 countries among the group of 15 countries exported less than $ 190 million US annually. At full production, within 3 years I am almost certain Trinidad and Tobago will be included in the top 15 Countries.
The entire land area is flat, electricity, telephone, internet, and freshwater on-site. Good roads, 30 minutes’ drive from the site to the highway, and another one-hour drive to the shipping port.
The area and seawater are influenced by the large river delta region of the Orinoco, one of the largest rivers in the world that joins the Atlantic Ocean to the South. The Orinoco and rivers to the South, lower the salinity of the Atlantic and adds essential nutrients to the Ocean, which in turn provide good marine shrimp habitat. On both side of the borders Trinidad and Venezuela it is virgin land with no Residential, Industrial or Commercial developments.
