A green environment is a vital condition. This is true both for the green space in our direct living and working environment as well as in the (agricultural) landscape, the water resources and the surrounding nature. Without it there is no oxygen, food or clean water; no room for recreation, relaxation or for recharging. In short a green environment is essential for the quality of life.
The Aeres Group wants to keep on paying attention to the green environment, the biodiversity in an ecological balance and enlarge the attention to these factors. For the present as well as for the future.

Dutch consortium targets Ethiopian poultry sector

29 juni 2012

The Ethiopian poultry sector is, just like Ethiopia itself, ready for take-off. Although on each and every shackle of the poultry chain fast improvement is needed, the potential is enormous. But these quality challenges also provide opportunities, as a group of Dutch poultry companies have rightly realized.

With an extensive and integral approach a consortium of Dutch poultry companies will, on behalf of Dutch government, execute a 3-year program on the Ethiopian poultry sector. De Heus Animal Nutrition bv, MSD Animal Health, Vencomatic, PAS Reform, VDL Agro, Aeres Groep and Agriterra shall in cooperation with Wageningen University and the Netherlands African Business Council try to catch the business opportunities in the sector, while at the same time transferring their ample knowledge and technology to local Ethiopian poultry stakeholders. This should be done through a market research, examination of the Ethiopian poultry chain, training programs, trade missions (both outgoing and incoming), participation in Ethiopian poultry fairs and other activities that stimulate mutual reinforcement, both for the Ethiopian parties as well as the Dutch companies.

The program starts with the market research and the research on the Ethiopian poultry chain. The results form the starting point for the other activities that will be carried out in the following 2,5 years. The program will come to an end again in the spring of 2015; by the Ethiopian poultry sector should have significant steps forward and the Dutch companies should be able to reap the fruits of its efforts.
