Mozambique Companhia Industrial da Matola (CIM) exports about four thousand tons of livestock feed per month to Southern African countries.

With production capacity of 10 thousand tons, CIM is committed to ensuring continuous supply to livestock producers, especially poultry farmers in the domestic and South African markets.

“Our intention is to offer superior products and services of all types for all stages of animal growth,” CIM Director General Alfredo Lopes says.

Speaking recently in Maputo at the launch of a new brand of feed, Lopes said that the company was going to establish a strategic partnership with an international firm involved in the production of medicines and products for veterinary use.

According to Noticias, the Mozambican market is characterized by high demand for feed for poultry, rabbits, ducks and pigs, and especially for broilers and laying hens in the well-established poultry industry.

Also speaking at the launch, head of the Maputo Provincial Livestock Services Danilo Latif said that production of animal feed would galvanize the development of the sector.

He added there is high demand for poultry inputs, with feed one of the constraints in the sector. Most of the raw materials used in its production have to be imported, but CIM was producing feed for the national and South African markets
