The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to customary conditions.

The hatchery is expected to produce up to 40 million baby fish (fry) every year.

This investment represents a reliable source of protein-rich raw material, paving the way for more competitive and sustainable animal production in Burkina Faso.

This strategic move by Bunge will strengthen global protein supply chains.

UK feed producers are replacing imported soya with home-grown pulses as new trials prove their performance and global tensions raise supply and energy risks.

The soy moratorium bars signatory companies from purchasing soybeans grown on farms in the Amazon biome that were deforested after July 2008.

The soybean meal supplied under the agreement has an estimated carbon footprint between 40% and 70% lower than the Brazilian average.

The certification verifies that soybeans processed at the facility carry a low risk of indirect land use change (LUC).

The initiative targets one of the biggest contributors to poultry emissions: feed production, which accounts for about 78% of a broiler’s total greenhouse gas footprint.

Soybean meal is a key component in animal feed, making the deal a significant boost for the nation’s food security and livestock productivity.
