Family-owned Ecuadorian feed producer Alimentsa has been in the feed mill business for more than 30 years and its mantra is very much focused on sustainable and efficient growth, Alex Olsen, president and founder of the company, told IntraFish during a visit to its plant.
But before it was a feed mill, the company started in shrimp production and still has farms producing around 9 million pounds of shrimp per year which are sold to packers, he said.
Nowadays the bulk of the business is in feed, and the company has more than 200 customers all of which are small and medium sized producers.
