Working with you
#FeedAdd18
On behalf of all of my colleagues and myself, a very warm
welcome to Amsterdam and to the Feed Additives event.
I hope you have a most enjoyable and informative three
days hearing from thought-provoking speakers and
networking with friends and colleagues across the indus-
try. Having recently taken over as Managing Director of
Feedinfo News Service, I thought it might be useful to
give you some insight into how we work and the changes we have made as a result
of some of the things you and our other customers have asked for.
This event, and everything we do, is driven by what previous delegates, potential
visitors, industry specialists and current customers would like to hear about or read.
We spend a lot of time speaking to people individually, canvassing opinion, under-
standing what you want to know, who you would like to hear from, then combining
all of that into delivering events such as this and into driving the future direction of
our web service.
The need to understand our customers’ challenges and requirements, then to
deliver what’s required, is a core focus of our parent company. Feedinfo News Ser-
vice is part of AgriBriefing, a global agribusiness media and intelligence company
which is headquartered in London. Currently, more than 500,000 agribusiness
professionals across 150 countries rely on our information services to make business
decisions worth hundreds of billions of dollars across the entire value chain.
Besides the Feed Additives events
and Feedinfo News Service, our port-
folio includes the US-based protein and
seafood price reporting service Urner
Barry, the global food and beverage
newswire FlexNews, UK-based farming
titles Farmers Guardian, Arable
Farming and Dairy Farmer, events
such as The British Farming Awards
and the CropTec Show, and subscrip-
tion commodities news and analysis
service Agrimoney.
AgriBriefing’s brands meet the
need for more transparency and trusted
pricing benchmarks in the vital agribusi-
ness sector, with live price reporting, as
well as news, analysis, professional networks and events and market data.
Feedinfo, which is an important part of the portfolio, aims to deliver all of those,
with this week’s Feed Additives event being a crucial networking event for the
speciality feed industry.
Events such as this, as well as the breadth and depth of information on Feedinfo,
are driven by what you and all of our audience and subscribers tell us you would
like to know. Our team of conference producers and customer engagement
specialists have spoken to a great number of you to ask what you would like to
know more about, what we should focus on, which ingredients or sectors you
think we should cover next.
On Feedinfo News Service, these are some of the things you told us you would
like more of, and we have delivered these to offer even better value to customers:
● More amino acid pricing coverage; we are about to launch two new price indices
● We have now added lysine sulphate and lysine liquid to our pricing indices
● More feed phosphates pricing coverage
● Pricing for copper sulphate, plus other metals, which impact on the feed industry
● Coverage of the phytase market
● Country-by-country livestock population and compound feed use statistics
● More on eubiotics and probiotics
● More on new technology and innovation
● Insights into key issues, covering more topics in-depth
● Latest shipping news, covering the impact of shipping on the market
● More scientific reports and conference proceedings
● Expanded coverage of the aquaculture sector
● More Asia and Americas coverage, including launching two Feed
Additives events in these markets, with Feed Additives Americas in Miami
on December 12 and 13
Each of our Feed Additives
events is individually researched
to ensure it is covering the most
important topics for that particular
market. So if you come to Feed
Additives Americas, you will hear
speakers tackling issues specifically
asked for by feed industry profes-
sionals in North, Central and South
America, and not a repeat of our
other events.
We are always pleased to receive
feedback, and work hard as an
organisation to make sure we act
upon it. In common with all of our
events, we will be seeking your
feedback and suggestions to help make our next Feed Additives event
even better, and in addition, I am always pleased to hear what you think
about some of the other brands in our business.
My email is [email protected]. I look forward to meeting
you over the next few days and hope you find this event informative and
enjoyable.

From the Editor
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Feed Additives 2018 Amsterdam, an
event designed to meet the needs of the feed additives, premix and compound
feed sectors.
Over the next few days, you will discover more about the market challenges
and opportunities of today and tomorrow, and how feed additives will play a
part in providing solutions along the way. I hope you learn about new industry
trends, sub-trends ready to emerge, and go back home with a clearer vision of
what is in store on the road to 2050.
Feed Additives 2018 addresses some of the opportunities ahead, but it is also
an opportunity for you to reflect on and discuss among yourselves the backdrop
and implications of some industry-wide developments which Feedinfo has helped
bring to readers’ attention in recent months.
In vitamin markets, volatility may be offset somewhat by the lifting of BASF’s
force majeure, but other issues make
the pricing environment unpredictable
too, like the EU’s recent reticence about
vitamin B2 (80%) produced by Bacillus
subtilis KCCM-10445, or Chinese sup-
pliers having to scale back or stop pro-
duction due to environmental reasons.
In amino acids, markets seem stable,
but the oversupply situation is still here,
and we have seen Asian manufacturers
taking extra steps in their focus on
specialty amino acids which are
high-value-added products that can
be sold at higher prices.
A fair amount of company expan-
sions and consolidation took place too,
as we reported on new animal nutrition production facilities and a wave of M&A
activity, with ADM in talks to acquire Neovia for €1.5 billion being one of the latest
significant stories.
That is the recent past, but we wonder ‘what will the animal nutrition industry
look like in 2050?’
At the 34th edition of Feed Additives, we could be living in a Matrix-like society,
where advancements in artificial intelligence and nanotechnology would make it
possible to plug our brains into computers and live in a simulated world, where we
could start using robots to do work at the factory.
We could rely entirely on renewable energy by 2050 and smartphones could be
obsolete. But in short, there is no way to tell, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy
discovering the future as it unfolds. Or you can seek to play a part in shaping that
future. As a pro-active member of the animal nutrition community, it is your duty to
help address today’s challenges and tomorrow’s needs. Think of Feed Additives 2018
as a chance to engage in the debate.
The main driver is, of course, feeding the 9bn plus humans who will be living on
Earth in 2050 by doubling the amount of food available, and doing so sustainably
and responsibly. But when it comes to animal protein, it is easier said than done.
The question of how we will feed more than 40bn-head of livestock and poultry
by 2050 still elicits a wide-range of responses from shock to disbelief and even
environmentalist disgust. The one that goes ‘if cattle were a nation, they would rank
third behind China and the United States among the world’s largest greenhouse
gas emitters’ in particular leaves me stupefied.
Regardless of one’s reaction, the reality is that, based on OECD and FAO
projections, meat consumption per person will rise from about 34kg/person in
2015 to 49kg/person in 2050. But is it
also safe to assume that feed demand,
and by extension feed additive demand,
will keep on rising to keep up with
global livestock, poultry and aquacul-
ture production?
Your meat industry customers
can sometimes suffer from bad press.
Yet the world is not about to give up
meat. In fact, with the growth of the
middle-class in countries such as India
and China, more meat is being con-
sumed than ever before.
Amid the debate over antibiotics,
industrial food production and animal
husbandry practices, nutrient delivery
kind of gets lost in the shuffle, yet the potential for improved animal nutrition has
never been more promising.
Feed Additives 2018 aims to provide you with answers with regard to a more
pressing issue at hand; the need now for smarter feed. What is more important to
you than formulating a finely tuned meal that satisfies an animal’s every nutritional
need while accomplishing more human objectives?
The future will see animal nutrition tackling new paradigms as our industry seeks
to tackle the low-cost feed formulation/best-performance conundrum, while increas-
ing their awareness of society demands, with a view to providing transparency on
how animals will be fed.
In other words, feed conversion will continue as an important driver, considering
that better feed conversion is related to less feed and water consumption, better feed

Feedinfo News Service Editor-in-Chief Simon Duke welcomes you to Feed Additives 2018.

digestibility and less excretion, or less pollutant elimination. However, we will be
more focused on final economic results.
Also, customers and consumers will increasingly focus on feed safety, animal
welfare and sustainability considerations.
Sophisticated analytical models will be used, not based on least cost
feed formulation, but based on best economical feed formulation, where
environment, strains and production proposals will be taken into account,
besides the usual knowledge of animals’ requirements, nutrients and energy
composition of ingredients.
In terms of feed additive demand in 2050, anyone pretending to have answers
is either a charlatan or a prophet.
My colleague Martijn de Cocq, who is Lead Analyst at Feedinfo News Service,
knows you cannot predict prices so far ahead. But he is sure demand for feed
additives in terms of volumes will keep on growing in the coming decades, in
line with global feed consumption.
Right now, he says the oversupply situation for some amino acids is not without
its challenges, and we have seen massive volatility and price increases over the year
for vitamins, but in many cases, prices are declining again. And another member
of the Feedinfo team Janos Gal (Senior Analyst, Feed Phosphates and Copper Sul-
phate) argues we can also expect significant developments in the feed phosphate
markets in the foreseeable future, given that a lot has changed in the past year, as
we have seen with plant closures, consolidation and unexpected price increases.
PRICE LEVELS‘What price levels will there be and when?’ are the questions Feedinfo seeks to
answer, thus enabling companies to stay on top of those developments and see
what supply and demand ratios are going to look like.
The year 2050 will come very fast and your customers will not wait 32 years to
have their demands met. So, in that sense, 2050 has already arrived and the animal
nutrition industry will need to move fast and be bold. We hope the forward-looking
information learned at Feed Additives 2018 and its subsequent editions will guide
you into a somewhat clearer and less risky future.

Conference report
During the three-day conference, founders, chief exec-
utives and business leaders from global feed addi-
tives producers and buyers heard from academics,
expert advisers and their own peers in a series
of presentations and groups discussions. Topics
addressed included M&A activity in the sector,
an in-depth look at the recent crisis in the vitamins
market, and outlook for key markets in the Asia-Pacific region.
Attendees were presented with a series of facts, ideas and seasoned
opinions to help them shape their own business plans and connect with
potential partners who could help those plans come to fruition.
MARKET INSIGHTIn an overview of the ongoing consolidation in the global animal nutrition
sector, Simon Duke, Editor-in-Chief of Feedinfo News Service, said
diversification continued to be ‘the name of the game’.
Giving the inaugural presentation at Feed Additives Asia 2018 in
Bangkok, Mr Duke said all signs indicated consolidation in the feed
additive industry was expected to continue in 2018 and could be described
in two forms: horizontal consolidation, in which premix or feed compan-
ies would continue to expand operations; and vertical integration,
which is more about premixers or feed companies acquiring feed additive
manufacturers.
According to Mr Duke, the vertical trend is driven by the industry’s
ambition to bring to market solutions which address key issues, such
as antibiotic reduction.
He said: “Providing strong global brands will remain key as the market
is eager to invest in reliable products with proven R&D knowhow.”
Mr Duke said major feed additives companies did not just want
to be seen leading the market through additional capacities. Instead,
they are cultivating the image of being science and technology-based
partners.
CHINAMr Duke also detailed how foreign firms considered China a ‘low-cost
production hub’. Examples of toll manufacturing agreements include
Evonik’s and Fufeng’s threonine manufacturing co-operation in Northern
China, as well as Ajinomoto’s sub-contracting of lysine and threonine
production to Meihua, as part of the Japanese firm’s strategy to acceler-
ate a shift to specialty feed additives.
To demonstrate the current importance of China in the global amino
acid and vitamin production map, he cited Prof Qi Guang-Hai, of the
Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, who spoke at Feed Additives
Global 2017 in Frankfurt in September last year.
The professor has estimated China produces 70% of the world’s feed
grade vitamins and 41% of feed grade amino acids.
Mr Duke, however, warned Chinese vitamin production could be
expected to become more expensive, as China’s many vitamin factories
could be affected to various degrees by the enforcement of environmental
protection measures.
He said: “Many upstream facilities can be subject to reduction in
output or even complete shutdown. The resulting supply issues are dis-
rupting a wide range of industries. Feed additives are no exception.”
Continuing the discussions on the Chinese market, the second speaker
of the day, Dirk Jan Kennes, Global Sector Strategist, Farm Inputs at
Rabobank, believed China would need to invest in its livestock industry
to upgrade it to bridge the gap between its sector and that of the rest
of the developed world.
Mr Kennes said: “It is necessary for China to invest to bridge the gap
and they will also need to focus on improving their breeding strategies.”
Mr Kennes said, at present, China was well behind other nations, such
as the Netherlands, in terms of piglets per sow production and feed usage
per animal.
He also touched on the importance of diversifying product combin-
ations and portfolios to stay competitive, especially for feed companies
that compete for this consumer base.
Mr Kennes added that due to recent mergers and acquisitions, some
feed additives companies had been hampered by this, restricting their
access to customers on a farmer level.

Feed Additives Asia 2018
“If you manage your farms well and practice good hygiene, your need
for AGPs diminishes”Dirk Jan Kennes
On May 16-18, 2018, more than 200 senior representatives of the specialty feed ingredients sector came together at the Millennium Hilton Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand, to discuss trends in the current market and strategies required for success in the future.
FA18 p10 11 12 Asia.indd 2 06/09/2018 14:50
September 26-28, 2018Hotel Okura, AmsterdamConference report
In terms of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP), he said companies in
the region needed to apply better farm management practices to be able
to move away from AGPs.
Mr Kennes said: “If you manage your farms well and practice good
hygiene, your need for AGPs diminishes.”
For this, Mr Kennes said farmers needed to be educated so they could
enable themselves to improve their practices.
PRICINGFollowing presentations from Charoen Pokphand Foods (CP Foods) and
the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO),
Feedinfo News Service Lead Analyst Martijn de Cocq presented attendees
with a pricing update for the major vitamins and amino acids covered
by Feedinfo.
He said: “It has been a rollercoaster ride in the past year for nearly
all vitamins, and it is still ongoing as we speak.
“Although fundamentals [for example, increased cost price due to
new environmental regulations in China] exacerbated to some extent
by BASF’s Citral force majeure, are obvious, it was almost unbelievable to
see how much sentiment was involved and how much insecurity there was
at end user level about the fulfilment of their supply chain and pipeline.
“We are convinced that lessons will be, and have to be, learned
going forward.”
Like amino acids, there has been a massive shift in production
of vitamins from Western sources to China or other Asian countries,
Mr de Cocq highlighted.
This came under the forms of shifting production locations from
Western countries to China, by starting Chinese-Western joint ventures,
or by newly built original Chinese vitamin factories.
He said: “By now, a lot of vitamin prices have stabilised at a high
level and are coming down again. More than with amino acids, we do,
on the one hand, expect to see volatile markets going forward, but we
also expect prices to come down.”
In the near-term, Feedinfo remains bearish for the biggest part of
the vitamin group, with good examples being Vitamin E and D-Calpan
at the moment.
Mr de Cocq said: “Longer term, 2018-2020, although fundamentals
should indicate a steadier and somewhat bearish market, we expect
the main drivers for the trend will be, for example, sudden supply chain
interruptions, shortage of intermediates and market sentiment.
“In our opinion, the vitamin market and the supply chain around it
still needs more maturing.”
OVERCOMING LOCAL CHALLENGESIn addition to presentations from industry veterans and experts from
around the world, Feed Additives Asia featured several panel discussions
11#FeedAdd18
FA18 p10 11 12 Asia.indd 3 06/09/2018 14:51
12
with leaders of the Asian industry talking candidly and honestly about
the issues facing the region.
The second day of the conference began with Kevin Liu (Vice-President
of Technical Services and Business Development Asia Pacific, Adisseo),
Robert Redman (General Manager, DSM) and Ramakanta Nayak
(General Manager, Trouw Nutrition) taking on the challenge of
describing the shape of the industry in 2050.
Mr Liu, Mr Redman and Mr Nayak were in agreement that among
the biggest challenges for feed additive companies in Asia were limited
raw material resources, animal diseases management, regulatory
barriers, optimal farm management and lack of institutional support.
Limited resources and using them in an optimal way can be quite
a task.
Mr Nayak said: “There is such a variety of raw materials that it is
important to have the right feed additives to maximise digestibility,
as well as consider the health of animals.”
He argued that optimisation of feed management to ensure food
safety would gain more importance in the region.
Mr Liu said the APAC region lacked adequate assessment testing
facilities to measure the efficacy of feed additives.
He said: “How do you judge the accuracy of feed additives? This is
still an issue in the area.”
The impacts of animal diseases
are also very consequential in the
Asia-Pacific region. For instance,
in 2004, when avian influenza
rocked Thailand, there was
hardly any chicken available,
Mr Redman said.
“The big challenge is the
management of diseases,” he
added, especially now that AGPs
are being phased out in some
countries of the region.
“There is, above all, a need for
farm management strategy to help
with disease management. Good
biosecurity first, then we can support the growth with feed additives.”
Looking at the case of fish farming, Mr Nayak said genetic breeding
lines were also a challenge.
He said: “Fast-growing fish creates more disease risk.”
Nayak remains optimistic though, as more and more focus was
being placed on aqua safety and its close connection to human health
considerations.
The fact fish is seen as a lean food in the consumer eye will continue
to spur growth in the aquaculture sector.
Mr Nayak mentioned countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar,
where per capita fish consumption is already very high, will continue
to increase their demand.
Changes in Government policy in Thailand and Indonesia or in other
countries without industry involvement can be quite damaging too.
The panelists believed regulatory barriers were tough and costs to
register feed additives products in Asia-Pacific markets could be enormous.
Mr Liu said: “It can sometimes take years and millions of dollars in
investment. The best innovative products are in danger of not getting
on the market in time.”
Mr Redman added: “The registration processes are very time-consum-
ing and sometimes you are missing the innovation. It is then too late to
respond to the current needs.”
Mr Redman also said that
banning AGPs without having
first trained farmers or consulted
with the industry could be fatal.
Additionally, he said the
industry must not underestimate
the negative publicity it receives.
The panelists all agreed this
will continue to haunt the sector
in the coming years. And social
media will only help accentuate
the issue.
As Redman said: “We have to
be pro-active and tell world we
are not the bad guys.”

Roger Mann, Executive Vice-President of Perstorp Feed &
Food says: “Growing world population and increasing protein
consumption require next generation solutions. Our broad
range of solutions offers many application areas that can help
to reduce antibiotics.”
The use of antibiotics as a growth promotor might have been
banned in Europe (2006) and regulated in the US (2017), but
antibiotic resistance nevertheless still poses a great threat to public health. Over the
last decades, consumers have become more and more aware of the dangers of anti-
biotics. “Research shows our organic acid- and ester-based solutions offer an
answer to society’s demand to prevent human antibiotic resistance,” says Roger
Mann, Executive Vice-President of Perstorp Feed & Food.
FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE Perstorp is investing more than €14 million in its Feed & Food Business Area.
The world leader will strategically strengthen and expand its Feed & Food plant in
Waspik and will look to establish satellite production units in Asia and the Americas.
The latter to offer a faster, more robust and flexible supply chain to these areas.
Mr Mann says: ‘We want our clients to benefit from organic acid- and ester-based
solutions all around the world.”
AGRICULTURAL LIFELINE Mr Mann, a driven man with an extensive history in agrifood, looks forward to his
new mission. The key to finding new innovative answers? Mr Mann says: “Putting
the right people in the right place. Perstorp Feed & Food combines a lifeline in
agriculture with excellent research. This gives us deep understanding of farmers’,
veterinarians’ and nutritionists’ needs.” To invest in solutions for gut health and
preservation, Feed & Food intends to double the number of employees in R&D,
regulatory affairs, supply chain, operations, marketing and sales. Mr Mann says:
“We need employees with the right skills and a passion for agri-food.”
INNOVATIVE As a leading company in organic acid- and ester-based solutions, Perstorp can build
on more than 135 years of experience. The now global company still shows the
Swedish reliability in the face of every challenge. Mr Mann says: “Finding next gen-
eration solutions has always been our focus. Take our ester technology for example:
a unique way to bind acids such as butyric, propionic and valeric acid making them
more efficient and safer to use. Our focus on the future makes us also invest in other
areas, such as digitalisation. In this ever-changing world with its constantly shifting
demands, Perstorp wants to keep pace with customer needs and demands.”
GROWING CONSCIOUSNESS Investing in Feed & Food was also a consumer-driven decision, says Mr Mann:
“Taking ownership of your health is a trend we see worldwide. People want to know
what is on their plate, how their food is made and how the animals were treated.
Society calls for better solutions. By investing in Feed & Food, we want to contribute
to a sustainable world for future generations.”

“We need employees with the
right skills and a
passion for agri-food”

Perstorp sees threat of antibiotic resistance: invests €14+ million
in Feed & Food
In 2048, antibiotic resistance could cause more casualties than cancer. More than enough reason for Perstorp to further invest in organic acid-based solutions and especially solutions based on the esters of organic acids, an area where the company has seen incredible potential.

Sponsored Q&A
Q KEMIEX is in a unique position in our industry, inter-
acting with firms across the sector. What common traits
do you see in the most successful feed additives producers?
A Successful firms have a clear strategy in place to achieve
cost leadership, differentiation or a focused approach to
avoid being ‘stuck in the middle’.
For commoditised products, more than ever, it is key to operate
as efficiently as possible to protect net margins. Leaders optimise
their reach and cost base
simultaneously by using innov-
ative and digital tools, such as
KEMIEX, and we also observed
an increased pace of larger
players acquiring smaller ones
to achieve economies of scale.
For speciality products, the
need for comprehensive advice
throughout the product life
cycle is high and offers attractive
margins. Successful producers
create strong brands, offer vast
technical knowledge and operate
in close collaboration with
clients to help them thrive.
Some of the firms follow a focused approach and succeed
in selected areas where they have an edge. They are looking
to manage commoditised ingredients in a smart way, by handling
higher volumes despite streamlining operational costs at the
same time.
Q The human factor has always been crucial in transactions
in the feed industry; how do you create the same human
connections in an online platform?
A An online platform will never replace human interactions,
but rather complement it to make certain operations more
efficient, convenient and safer. Some traders and buyers struggle
already with exchanging hundreds of emails every day, spending
money and time to identify suppliers for basic commodities
or non-strategic product categories to finally still experience
operational losses or failing to get the best terms.
It’s a reality that misunderstandings, contract breaches and
lack of business ethics are happening to even the most seasoned
experts, despite human interaction.
Q Your background is
in investment banking;
what could raw materials
traders learn from financial
traders?
A Some people in our
network are trading both
raw materials and financial
products, so I guess their core
mentality and business sense
are quite comparable.
Eventually, financial
trading is more high-tech,
transparent and faster, while
raw materials trading requires
more comprehensive knowledge
in supply chain management, as well as technical product and
industry insights. Therefore, we believe the main learning point,
if any, would be the use of digital platforms which have been used
during decades, whereas raw material traders have kept their
traditional channels to do business.
Q You have a partnership with Atradius to provide credit
insurance on a trade-by-trade basis; what other steps
can one take to limit counterparty risk?
A Relying on only one or a few traditional counterparties
and ignoring new channels poses the highest counterparty
risk. At KEMIEX, we take risk management seriously as we position
#FeedAdd18
A new way of buying and selling additives
“An online platform will never replace human
interactions, but rather complement it”Pau Franquet
Swiss-based KEMIEX is an independent online trading platform for professional buyers and sellers of commoditised additives, vitamins, amino acids, APIs and other substances for feed, food, veterinary and pharma industries. Feed Additives spoke to Founder and Chief Executive Pau Franquet to learn more about this new platform and its view of the industry.
FA18 p16 17 Q&A.indd 2 06/09/2018 14:52
September 26-28, 2018Hotel Okura, AmsterdamSponsored Q&A
ourselves as a premium invite-only platform for companies
that meet certain financial and quality management criteria.
We have a thorough onboarding procedure to filter the good
companies based on creditworthiness and quality standards and
we are constantly monitoring these companies with the support
of Atradius credit insurance.
Atradius has access to financials and trade information of
240 million companies worldwide. An additional behavioural
user rating is available for platform members as they are rated
based on real transactions, allowing us to monitor the behaviour
of platform participants and act accordingly.
Legally, all trades will be executed in line with our comprehen-
sive GTCs, which are based on accepted guidelines recommended
by international trade associations and, for instance, include a
retention of title clause until a transaction is fully completed.
Q Why has it taken so long for an online trading platform
to enter this industry?
A Online matchmaking platforms are not a completely new
concept to feed industries, with some platforms dating back
to early 2000s.
Our platform is the result of the digitalisation trend and use of
advanced technologies, the combination of best practices
from outside and inside the industry and, ultimately, intensifying
market trends urging market participants to diversify networks
and toolsets.
In a recent research paper, we outlined some ideas on how to
strategically approach purchasing to cope with current industry
challenges, such as higher price volatility and more frequent supply
disruptions driven by environmental regulations, trade wars and
vulnerable global supply chains.
Many existing matchmaking platforms fail to offer a holistic
solution to some of the most pressuring industry challenges, as
they do not check the quality of members, do not offer real-time
market prices and automated trade execution, or are simply
distributing their listed products or such of related companies
through an online store.
At KEMIEX, the key value-adds for feed additive traders, buyers
and sellers is an affordable, safe and neutral premium trading eco-
system that allows you to do more business with a global network
of reliable counterparties. Additionally, companies can benefit from
insights and insurance provided by Atradius credit insurance.
Q What has been the hardest part of getting the KEMIEX
platform to market and ready for use?
A To win early adopters for a new trading venue that is beyond
breadth of previous solutions, you must be able to catch the
right people with strategic foresight, operational experience and
willingness to try new things and change existing procedures.
Once we sit at the table with senior managers demonstrating the
platform, they typically ask immediately where to sign the contract.
Interacting with some of the most senior and experienced
managers of the industry has also been very valuable for the
project. One example is Tim Lemeer from Barentz Animal
Nutrition, who has been a great challenger and supporter.
Some market participants are fearing platforms as a risk to
their traditional business model, but put correctly, it actually
helps enhance and develop their business.

Feed Additives Americas
The Feed Additives events series features intensive discussion
and unique networking opportunities, attracting top quality
speakers and delegates from across the world. Following the
successful launch of the first regional conference for the Asian
market in Bangkok in May 2018, the new Americas event will
take the conference format to Miami; a meeting point for US
and Latin American additives producers and users.
Rory Brown the Co-Founder of AgriBriefing (Feedinfo’s parent company) says:
“Over the past 20 years, the Feedinfo News Service has established a reputation as
the leading pricing and intelligence service for the feed and feed additives market
globally. Last year we were excited to add a conference arm to our business where
the industry can meet, develop connections and really learn about the latest innova-
tions and developments in our industry.”
Bringing together internationally renowned speakers and local experts,
Feed Additives Americas 2018 will offer unbiased opinions, giving delegates an
accurate picture of the industry and the chance to meet new people and explore
new opportunities in these regions.
Shannon Behary, Editor of Feedinfo News Service, who will be speaking at the
event, says: “The Americas are absolutely integral to the feed industry. They house
titans in grain and meat exports, generate world-leading scientific research, and ins-
pire consumer trends which will influence how meat is produced for years to come.
“You cannot afford to be uninformed about this part of the world. I am looking
forward to speaking with and learning from experts in the political and business
landscapes of North and South America at the Feed Additives Americas event.”
DESIGNING THE EVENTOlympia Theocharous, Head of Event Content for the Feed Additives conferences
says: “To design the event, we consulted with representatives from the feed addi-
tives, premix, compound feed and integrator industries from North, Central and
South America. This has meant our programme truly meets the needs of the
sector and addresses challenges faced by stakeholders throughout the specialty
feed ingredients value chain.”
