Louis Dreyfus Company Breaks Ground on Construction of a Specialty Feed Production Line in Tianjin
Tianjin, China, September 26, 2024 – Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) celebrated today the groundbreaking ceremony for its new specialty feed production line in Tianjin, as part of the Group’s strategic plans to diversify revenue through value-added products.
Located on a 11,000m2 plot of land near LDC’s existing Tianjin oilseeds crushing plant, the new specialty feed production line will focus on producing fermented soybean meal, expanding LDC’s presence in China’s rapidly growing specialized feed protein market, expected to grow at a 7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
The facility will adopt a technology enhancing feed protein content, palatability and digestibility through synergistic fermentation by multiple probiotic strains.
“Through this investment, we aim to provide the local livestock and poultry farming industry with high-quality specialty feed proteins that can contribute to more efficient livestock farming, by helping to improve the health status and growth rate of several animal species,” said Shengshu Huang, LDC’s Chief Technology Officer for Animal Nutrition in North Asia.
The new production line is expected to be operational in the second half of 2025.
