The government has identified opportunities in feed production, poultry health, farm inputs and distribution.

Feed and grain groups will partner to connect members with courses, industry events and resources offered by each.

The facility will separate fresh grass into a protein-rich juice stream and a fibre-rich press cake.

The project supports agricultural and livestock value chains, including access to feed and other inputs.

The development comes as the UAE continues to rely significantly on imported pet food.

The agreement spans feed, hatcheries, farming, processing, cold chain and distribution.

The company had previously announced plans to acquire 65% of EL.VI.Z, with a further 35% stake planned to be acquired within three years.

The site is the company’s first ground-up factory in more than 50 years.

The acquisition expands access to local grain and strengthens Kalmbach’s feed, pet food and ingredient operations.

High feed costs, limited access to quality fish seed and weak fish health systems are among the key barriers to aquaculture growth.
