De Heus expands its Asian footprint with the acquisition of CJ Feed & Care

Since its entry into Vietnam in 2009, De Heus has steadily built a strong presence across Asia.

The acquisition of CJ Feed & Care reinforces its position in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Cambodia, while enabling direct market access to South Korea and the Philippines, two strategically important countries with significant growth potential in animal protein production.

Empowering local value chains for animal proteins

Consistent with its strategy as an animal nutrition-focused company, De Heus reaffirms its commitment to independent farmers.

This acquisition facilitates broader access to high-quality nutrition, genetics, and technical support for farmers while actively contributing to the development of a competitive and resilient livestock farming sector.

“We are excited to have signed this Share Purchase Agreement. This acquisition marks a significant step in strengthening our footprint across Asia. By combining our expertise in animal nutrition, farm management, and animal health with CJ Feed & Care’s strong local presence, we can create even greater value for our customers, partners, and the wider sector. Together, we will continue empowering independent farmers and contributing to a more resilient and sustainable food system for generations to come,” said Gabor Fluit, CEO of De Heus.

Pending customary regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
