(LDC) and Guangdong HAID Group Co. Ltd. (HAID) today marked the start of construction work on a new feed mill in Tianjin, China, to be built and operated by their joint venture, Tianjin&nbsp;Rongchuan&nbsp;Feed Co. Ltd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the partnership agreement signed by the two companies in December 2018, the mill will produce high-end aquatic feeds, including prawn feeds, as well as fermented soybean meal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Situated on a 53,000m2 plot of land and strategically located at the&nbsp;center&nbsp;of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei economic zone, the site is expected to open by mid-2020, with an annual feed production capacity of 300,000 metric tons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased to begin work on LDC\u2019s first aqua feed facility in partnership with HAID \u2013 the world\u2019s largest aqua feed producer,\u201d said Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, Chairperson of Louis Dreyfus Holding B.V. \u201cThis latest development in China underlines once again the importance we place on partnerships, as we implement our growth strategy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the increase in aqua product consumption, high-end aqua feed production has become an important part of our growth plans for the coming years,\u201d said Mr. Hua&nbsp;Xue, Chairman of Guangdong HAID Group. \u201cThis joint venture with one of the world\u2019s leading merchants and processors of agricultural goods offers an excellent opportunity to contribute to our mutual growth plans.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis initiative is part of our strategy to diversify downstream into more value-added products, as we increasingly integrate along the value chain,\u201d stated LDC\u2019s Group CEO, Ian McIntosh. \u201cHAID is a key player in animal nutrition, and our complementary expertise is ideal to develop together in this arena.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China is the world\u2019s largest supplier and consumer of aqua feed. The partnership between LDC and HAID aims to develop the biggest aqua feed mill in North China and leverage the synergies from combining soy crushing and feed production activities in one location.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs demand for protein rises in a number of markets and consumer demand for healthy meat alternatives grows in China, aquaculture represents an efficient and sustainable source of protein and our move into aqua feeds is consistent with that vision,\u201d said James Zhou, Head of North Asia Region at LDC.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Louis Dreyfus Company<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Louis Dreyfus Company is a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods.
