Agri BUSINESS

This division consists of three integrated business units that produce eggs (Nulaid), chicken products (Tydstroom), animal feed (Nova Feeds), and commercial laying hens through the Group's 50 percent interest in Lohmann South Africa.

Nulaid is South Africa's largest integrated commercial egg enterprise with facilities for rearing laying hens, several laying farms as well as egg packaging and processing facilities. Eggs are distributed nationally in the retail, wholesale and informal markets under the extensive range of the established Nulaid brand.

Tydstroom is one of the largest integrated chicken production operations, producing, processing and marketing a variety of high-quality fresh and frozen chicken meat products to major retail supermarkets. Both regular and free-range products are produced in a variety of product packages such as whole chicken, braai packs, chicken rashers, kebabs, etc.

The abattoir facilities consist of two world-class chicken processing facilities and a rendering plant. All products are of a high and consistent quality, safe and traceable, with external audits of the facilities conducted regularly in order to ensure that safety and health standards are in line with national and international standards. The abattoirs have been awarded HACCP accreditation, which gives them ultimate credibility in the field of food safety by internationally accepted standards.

Nova Feeds manufactures a variety of animal feed solutions for intensive commercial livestock farmers producing dairy, poultry, ostrich and other related products in Malmesbury, George and Pretoria.

The feed manufacturing process is monitored and benchmarked against international standards to ensure the production of the highest quality products. Feeds are all thoroughly researched and tested on a commercial scale before a new product is released into the market. Full support is given to the customer by the Technical Advisers team.

The Lohmann partnership is a strategic partnership in Lohmann South Africa in which Pioneer Foods has a 50 percent interest. This gives the Group access to imports of superior pedigree grandparent stock from Germany for the reproduction of parent stock that produces commercial layer hens reared for the production of table eggs.
