Visiting feed manufacturers in Africa takes the visitor through the full range of emotions – from positive about the future development of the industry to negative thoughts when confronted with the myriad of problems that our counterparts face in tying to deliver a quality product to the marketplace.

enya is well served by its feed association, AKEFEMA and its national chairman Joseph Karuri. His industry is also well supported by the Kenyan government’s KEBS, the Kenya Bureau of Standards which oversees product quality and has recently introduced a quality mark for feed that meets international standards as laid down by Codex Alimentarius. Currently, there are over 80 feedmillers with a total installed annual capacity of more than 700,000 tonnes. The millers currently produce a total of about 400,000 tonnes of concentrate feeds annually. The highest percentage is represented by poultry feeds (56%), followed by cattle feeds (32%), pigs (9%) and other types (3%) that include pet, horse and fish food. Pembe Flour Mills and Grain Millers in Nairobi are one of the biggest manufacturing facilities for flour and feedmilling in the country. It is also a leading maize miller and has operations throughout the region. These are images of Pembe Flour Mills Ltdon the outskirts of Nairobi.

he Pearl of Africa’ - that’s the sign you first glimpse as you land at Entebbe Airport. Today, in spite of past problems and some recent disinformation, Uganda is regaining its luster of old and the words of Winston Churchill are ringing true again: "For magnificence, for variety of form and colour, for profusion of brilliant life - bird, insect, reptile, beast - for vast scale - Uganda is ‘the Pearl of Africa’.
“The scenery is different, the climate is different and most of all, the people are different from anything elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa .... what message I bring back .... concentrate on Uganda," he wrote. It might not have worked out quite like Churchill had expected in the intervening years, but there is a vibrancy that is encouraging even in the recesses of the feed industry. Ugachick is a major poultry producer and has a significant presence in feed production not only supplying its own needs but selling good quality feeds into the marketplace. Other feedmills such as Maganjo and Kagodo Farmers are also producing reasonable feeds while often working with poor quality raw materials. Getting raw material inputs right is a key factor in assisting this industry develop. However, that is not likely to happen any time soon given the need to find food for its growing population. There is an obvious trade off between the needs of livestock in terms of cereals inputs and the needs of its people. There is also a significant black market in feedstuffs that operates openly along the major roads networks of the country and undermines the best efforts of feed manufacturers, who are working hard to lift quality standards and to see an adequate return on their investments.

he Ghana Feedmillers Association is made up of mostly manufacturers in the south of the country in and around the capital city of Accra. Millers are few in number and struggle with raw material quality and confidence in the market place for the feeds produced.
However, the industry has strong support not only from the Ghana Standards Board but in particular from the Food and Drug Board which is working with recognised manufacturers to improve manufacturing and quality standards. Ghana Protein, a new fishmeal processing facility run by Fabrice Pizano, is producing quality products to meet a market need that cannot be met by traditional suppliers of beach-dried materials. However, some concrete ‘platforms’ properly maintained and operated do provide quality fishmeal that feedmillers have come to trust. The FDB is keen to stamp out illegal production and encourage the development of supplies that meet international standards. The key feedmills in the area include GAFCO in the Tema Harbour Area, the Kosher Feedmills Limited in Accra itself and the Greater Accra Poultry Farmers’ Association that built a feedmill in the early 1980s and today produces 1800 tonnes per month. Dr Mohammed Alfa, head of the FDB and Benjamin Quaye, general manager of Kosher Feedmills are pictured above discussing how feed production might be improved nationally. Mr Quaye is the president of the Ghana Feed Manufacturers Association.
