The Business
We are specialized in making good quality feed for big companies who don't have their own feed mill in Sulawesi. One of our advantages is that we could have our maize which we use 60% of our feed composition from surroundings. It means we can produce very competitive price feed. Although it is necessary to have a maize dryer in our area in order to process the maize so that we can storage the maize safely. If the maize contains too much moisture, the quality of the feed is below standards and not suitable for proper feeding of birds and other animals. Bad feed results in bad growth of the chickens and too low yield of meat production; it appears to be too costly in the whole growth cycle up to the slaughtering at the end of the cycle. Additionally the presence of a maize drying unit will support and help the maize farmers a lot. Their harvesting will be much more efficient, offer them better prices, particularly since our country has a rainy period of even six months. Even outside the raining period the air humidity is high and gives problems.
We are giving a good stock-handling service and produce good feed quality with relative low cost production. We manage and storage their raw materials and finish product with good care. We take advantage from our competitors by offering relatively cheaper maize for our partner.
Our feed-mill is located near from the broiler farmers where we can deliver fresh feed to them.
Geographically seen this is a big part of our strength.
