  • In Africa, surging meat demand drives the growth of the compound feed market. Increased awareness about the quality of meat and milk products, combined with the industrialization of the livestock sector, further fuels this growth. Moreover, the rising demand for animal products ranging from milk and dairy to meat, eggs, and even non-food items, has empowered feed manufacturers to enhance animal productivity. According to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), Egypt's poultry meat consumption rose from 1,526.8 thousand metric tons in 2022 to 1,580.6 thousand metric tons in 2023.
  • In African nations like South Africa and Egypt, the compound feed market is pivotal to the agricultural sector, significantly bolstering the livestock and poultry industries. This market involves producing and distributing nutritionally balanced feed, crafted from diverse raw materials. These feeds, rich in carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and minerals, cater to the specific dietary needs of various animal species. In these countries, ruminants, poultry, and fish play a vital role in agricultural development. This importance has spurred numerous initiatives in the industry. For example, in 2022, Nutreco, a Dutch leader in animal nutrition and processed meat products, secured a USD 4.8 million grant to establish feed mills in remote African communities, including Egypt.
