About Alema Koudijs Feed

Alema Koudijs Feed PLC (AKF) is a joint venture between Alema Farms PLC and De Heus Animal Nutrition BV which was established in 2009. Alema Koudijs Feed produces high quality animal complete feeds for poultry, ruminants, aqua and swine at our factory in Debre Zeit (Bishoftu). 

The two companies combine the vast knowledge of feedmilling, raw materials, animal husbandry from De Heus Animal Nutrition, with the local knowledge of Alema Farms PLC. Together that makes Alema Koudijs Feed PLC (AKF) a professional organization with deep knowledge about Ethiopian farming. We at AKF are able to know exactly what the Ethiopian farmers need and to make a high quality feed resulting in profitable farming.

Alema Farms is one of the leading and pioneer non-state/ private integrated farms in Ethiopia. It was established in 1993 between two Ethiopian entrepreneurs, Mr. Alemayehu Amdemariam & Mr. Lemma Asfaw, and has almost 30 years of experience in farming. It started on a very small scale in Debre Zeit but has since been steadily growing and became the leading poultry and egg producer in Ethiopia. Besides poultry they also have swine and beef farms, hatcheries, supermarkets and more.

With their business they created so many investment and/or business opportunities for small, medium and large scale farmers across the nation by providing day old chicks, pullets, vaccines, feeds, feeders, drinkers and poultry farm related inputs to the market. In doing so, thousands of people have benefited from being engaged in rearing of layer and broiler chicks and production of eggs.
