Norway eyes fish feed plant in Delta
Under an agreement concluded
last Friday, the foreign partner will invest 6 million USD in Anova's
fish feed plant in Long An, representing 51 percent of the total value
of the joint venture company.
Anova CEO David Serene said
the plant will begin operations with the new status as a JV on February 1
with an output of 60,000 tonnes of fish feed, focusing on catfish,
which is widely farmed in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta.
The
company will develop growth models to help customers monitor their fish
performance against expectations, he said. Feed management strategies
will be worked out with customers to make the feeding regime most
effective, he added.
EWOS deputy managing director Einar
Wathne said his company will also work with customers to provide
information on the feed to fish buyers in the US and Europe, supporting
fish sales in high quality markets ./.
