INVESTMENTS, FUNDING & M&A

The new facility will manufacture 48,000 tonnes of animal feed and 15,000 tonnes of aquatic feed annually.

The project forms part of Project Willow, the Scottish government’s initiative to transform Grangemouth into a hub for green technologies.

The project is expected to generate jobs in hatchery work, grow out activities, processing, transport and technical services.

Meanwhile, KALRO also announced plans to construct a Sh200 million (approximately US$1.3 million) research centre in Nyeri County.

Its new feed mill is expected to become operational by the second half of 2026, followed by the flour mill in the second half of 2027.

The first plants are scheduled for commissioning in the first quarter of 2027, followed by a second phase that will add two more feed mills.

Neither of the parties has revealed the financial terms of the transaction yet.

Viteral Integrated Milling Systems is renowned for providing complete facilities for feed production.

This investment will surely boost the poultry feed market in the country to sustain the demand created by this new project.
