The city of Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado, has had its first poultry feed production plant since Tuesday (16).

This is an investment by the Lovemore Frangos e Rações group, valued at seven million meticais, which reduces dependence on the city of Pemba, in the neighboring province of Nampula.

Speaking after the inauguration, the governor of Cabo Delgado, Valige Tauabo, quoted by Terra MagazineHe highlighted the importance of the venture at a time when the province is taking significant steps towards achieving self-sufficiency in broiler production, which currently covers 70% of local demand.

The plant, which is already up and running, also produces dog food using corn and soy.
