An Israeli aquafeed mill with an installed capacity of 24,000 metric tonnes was inaugurated at Prampram, near Tema in Ghana. At this stage, the $5 million production facility is running at between 1,000 and 1,400 tonnes of feed a month for local and export markets.
Raanan Fish Feed West Africa is the first extruded aquafeed mill in West Africa for floating tilapia and catfish feeds. The company sources most of its ingredients locally and supplements them with vitamins and premixes from Israel .
The company is also engaged in outreach to local farmers. It has established an Aqua Culture Training Centre in the Ashanti Region with the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture and has created an aquaculture research centre for students at the KNUST, Kumasi.
Raanan Fish Feed is a producer of organic and conventional feeds for a wide range of species. As well as Raanan Fish Feeds West Africa, the company has three other major production sites: two in Israel - its main feedmill for extruded feeds in Miluot, and a second mill for starter feeds at Ramat Tzvi and an organic feedmill in Vietnam.
