Cambodia is estimated to require about 600,000 tonnes of animal feed per year and these numbers are expected to increase dramatically. Given such demand, Thailand based Betagro Group opened a feed mill in Phnom Penh this year, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 tonnes.
Located in Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (PPSEZ), the facility is the Group’s first and only feed mill outside Thailand.
The plant is built at a cost of USD30 million [Bt1 billion] – and is expected to produce high quality feed for pigs, laying hens, broiler chickens, laying ducks, native chickens and cattle under the brands Be-lac, Betagro, Bio and Balance.
Betagro already caters to about 200 feed customers in Cambodia and the new facility will help them expand in the market further. The Group’s feed mills in Thailand have been exporting feed for terrestrial and aquatic animals to Cambodia for over 10 years. The group also has presence in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap where it operates parent stock farms, contract farming, broiler farms, and pullet farms as well as Betagro Shop outlets.
They also plan to target larger and mid-sized farms with their new feed brand – Farm.
Besides Cambodia, Betagro plans to expand its feed-production base to Asean Economic Community (AEC) countries.
Animal feed investments in Asia will be further discussed at CMT’s 2nd Global Feed Summit on 16-17 May, 2016 in Bangkok.
