Dec 20, 2021 · There has been significant local and foreign investment in the fish feed industry in Egypt in recent years, especially in aqua feed extrusion technology, according to a new paper.
One result of the depreciation and high inflation witnessed throughout 2017 has been a stronger emphasis on manufacturing with local products as opposed to imported ones, when possible. For example, global confectioner and pet food manufacturer Mars has been increasingly sourcing from local packaging suppliers in Egypt since 2014.
Grand Group owns the latest fish feed production line in all manufacturing stages, starting with using the most advanced German grinding technology “Tietjen” and the latest American extruder “Wenger X 185” which is fully automated.
According to the minister of trade and industry, Nevin Gamea, key growth priorities in the post-pandemic recovery period include increasing non-traditional exports; improving Egypt’s global competitiveness and attracting more foreign direct investment; deepening local industrialisation; and securing bilateral and multilateral trade agreements.
Jan 27, 2020 · GEOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS: The production of Compound feeds in Egypt is mainly confined to the banks of Nile, in the arable lands of Asyut, Sohag, Qena, Luxor, and Aswan. Upper Egyptian areas like Alexandria, Beheira, and Cairo provide an excellent location for domestic as well as international place.
The locally developed floating fish feed extruder was evaluated for performance in terms of machine parameters such as; screw speeds (158.5, 225 and 334 rpm), die size (4, 6 and 8 mm) and moisture content of feed materials (20, 30, 40 and 50%), on specific mechanical energy requirements, expansion ratio, bulk density and pelleting efficiency
The operating cost of fish feed production decreases with the increase of the screw speed, feeding rate and die hole dimeter, the costs of extrusion processing ranged from 0.628 to 1.081 LE kg-1 of feed for all treatments under study.
