Danes open Ghanaian feed plant
Aller Aqua, the Danish feed producer, recently inaugurated its first feed factory in Senchi Amanfrom, in Ghana.
The official opening was attended by over 80 customers, business partners and industry officials, including members of the District Assembly, the Ministry of Fisheries, the Royal Danish Ambassador and members of the press.
At the inauguration, speakers included Carsten Jørgensen (CFO, Aller Aqua Group), the Royal Danish Ambassador Tove Degnbol, Madam Abene Kyei (District Coordinating Director) and Niels Lundgaard (Commercial Director for Africa, Aller Aqua Group).
Emmanuel Ofosu, Aller Aqua’s Country Director for Ghana, was present to greet all attendees and answer questions. Emmanuel received many inquiries and contacts for further collaboration, and is looking forward to follow up on these.
The plant will produce feed for tilapia and catfish producers, and the feed will be offered in Ghana by Emmanuel Ofosu and his team, consisting of 5 dedicated staff members. Aller Aqua Ghana Limited is strategically situated by the Volta River where many fish farmers have their farms. This, paired with positive statements from current customers, gets the company off to a positive start.
“The opening day was a result of months of hard work, and we are glad to be able to start offering fish feed to the Ghanaian aquaculture sector from our local company, Aller Aqua Ghana Limited. Aller Aqua essentially help the farmers grow their businesses by providing high quality fish feed which leads to faster growth, healthier fish and thus a better end product. This is our aim in all the countries we are represented in, and was a key parameter in our decision in starting Aller Aqua Ghana Limited,” explains Niels Lundgaard, the group’s Commercial Director for Africa.
