De Heus has been growing steadily in Africa. It currently produces in Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, Uganda and Ivory Coast. It has now add its first dedicated aquafeed plant in Africa with its new plant near Jinja under De Heus Uganda to feed the nascent aquaculture industry in East Africa.

We are best known in Ghana for our brand Koudijs, which has been active in the country since 2018 and leads in various livestock categories with its trusted quality.

Aquaculture Research and Development Center in Vietnam

Our dedicated Aquatic R&D Centre in Vietnam provides testing for a wide range of aquaculture species. The indoor facilities support extensive feed development trials under controlled conditions. The results are then tested and proven in our specially designed outdoor facilities that closely mirror those of an aquaculture farm.

The R&D Centre also functions as a technology lab where customers take part in training programmes and demonstrations to help develop their farming and management practices.
