China: The latest happenings from Muyang
Muyang. headquartered in the cultural city of Yangzhou, China, have been busy attending shows such as Eurotier, VIV China, constructing feed mills, winning bids and supporting construction of new silo’s and feed mills. Here is a short summary of updates.
Muyang signed an agreement with Philipino Texicon Agriventures in July to supply a full set of machinery and building structure materials for its new extrusion aqua feed project. The feed mill is designed to have a capacity of 4.5 -5.5 t/h, capable of producing 900,000-960,000 bags of qualified aqua feed annually. This is the second venture of Texicon Agriventures into the feed milling industry. Its 4 t/h animal feed mill started successful operation in 2009.
Texicon Agriventures a subsidiary of Texicon Group of Companies and established in 1995, is a reliable importer and distributor of quality fertiliser and pesticide products to local and multinational agricultural companies throughout the Philippines. Driven by the increasing consumption of fish meat due to growth in population and limitations of wild catch, Texicon is very optimistic that its extrusion aqua feed mill will further boost its annual sales.

Jiujiang Baoli Cereals & Oils is planning a US$ 86.4 million agribusiness complex in Jiujiang, Jiangxi province. The oilseed processing facility is a part of the investment. The complex will engage in cotton seed and rapeseed sourcing, handling, storage, processing and sales.
