Al Dahra, an agriculture firm based in Abu Dhabi, specializing in the cultivation, production and trading of animal feed and human food commodities is set to launch five new animal feed plants in Eastern Europe as part of its expansion plans.
The new plants, reports say, will be located in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria.
“The new plants comprise 12 production lines with a capacity of 500,000 tons per annum of clover and more than 15 types of feed and concentrated grains. With an investment exceeding $136 million, we are now the biggest producer and exporter of clover and green feed in Eastern Europe and Balkans,” said Khadim Abdulla Aldarei, Co-founder and Managing Director.
Established in 1995, Al Dahra opened its first plant for compressing and drying animal feed in Serbia with a production capacity of 120,000 tons and storage capacity of 20,000 tons. The company, Aldarei also noted, recently added some 11,000 hectares of clover to its existing plants that are located in Great Braila Island in Romania and spread over an area of 56,000 hectares.
“The company has also built a river port from its farms linked directly to the Port of Constanța, in addition to establishing new storages with a capacity of 60,000 tons of feed,” he added.
