Denmark-headquartered Hamlet Protein has renewed its partnership with Jebsen & Jessen in Asia, covering Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia, a move which will help the company’s to bring its solutions for young animal nutrition and health to Asian customers
With a mix of distribution relationship and local staff operating from China, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand, support by global technical management, Hamlet Protein aims to understand local market dynamics and translate that into practical solutions for feed mills, premixers, integrators and farmers.
“Hamlet Protein has been investing in Asia in recent months. We have added local technical and commercial resources to be closer to our customers. We are working in selected markets on introducing our concepts into the poultry segment, building on years of experience and research in piglet and calf nutrition and health,” commented Hamlet Protein CEO Erik Visser.
While COVID-19 is affecting the animal protein supply chain across the region, African Swine Fever (ASF) continues to be the mayor reason for concern of hog producers that experience outbreaks in their commercial herds. Where large hog farming companies in China are cautiously restocking, ASF continues to spread within backyard farms on the islands of Luzon and Mindanao in the Philippines. In Vietnam, 44 of 63 provinces declared themselves ASF free in Q1.
“We have a long term commitment to producers in Asia and are investing today to strengthen relationships like our partnership with Jebsen & Jessen and build new ones with customers across the region,” commented Erik Visser.
