In South Africa, Kiotechagil has signed with Protea Animal Feeds, part of the Omnia Group which has a capitalisation of more than one billion rand (€ 88 million).
Protea will also act as distributor for Kiotechagil in other Southern African countries including Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of Congo, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
Protea currently provides specialty feed ingredients to all sectors of the feed industry and is committed to broadening the scope of its business by offering Kiotechagil’s feed additive range so as to enhance nutritional performance for their customers.
It is anticipated that the first tranche of Kiotechagil’s products will be ready for launch in the final quarter of the year.
In Thailand, Kiotechagil has appointed Bangkok based Lic Agrotech Ltd.
This young company, founded in 2005, currently supplies feed ingredients and premixes to all sectors of the feed industry selling direct to farmers and integrators.
The Kiotechagil product range will complement Lic Agrotech’s and sales are expected to start during the last quarter 2009 once all Kiotechagil’s main products have been registered.
