Just two years after the inauguration of a completely
new fish feed factory in Egypt, Aller Aqua officially inaugurates an additional
production line in Egypt.
"Our subsidiary, Aller Aqua Egypt, has since its foundation
experienced massive growth in sales of our environmentally friendly fish feed on
the Egyptian market. Therefore we decided to construct an additional production
line, which we are now ready to put into service” explains Henrik Halken,
Chairman of Aller Aqua Egypt.
He continues, “We established ourselves in the country in 2011 and
has since worked hard at building a strong organisation and modern production
facilities.”
Last month the company won an award for the ”Best product for
aquaculture in the Middle East” at an exhibition in Dubai. The company won the
award for the second year running. These awards increase the interest
for Aller Aqua’s products in the Middle East, for example in the UAE, to where
Aller Aqua just began exporting feeds.
However, running a business in Egypt has its challenges. The
country is experiencing major political and financial challenges. In 2016 the
country’s currency was devalued by 60 percent overnight, and in 2011 the
country went through a revolution in connection with the “Arab Spring”.
These challenges have however not deterred us from expanding our
activities on the African continent, and this year we will invest US $10
million in building a new factory in Zambia, which is due to open this autumn.
Aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food sector – and
particularly Africa with its fast-growing population will need healthy food in
the coming years.
