AKIJ Resource launches premium feeds to boost livestock industry

AKIJ Agro Feed Ltd, a subsidiary of AKIJ Resource, has launched a wide range of high-quality feed products to enhance the productivity and efficiency of Bangladesh's agricultural sector. 

The launch event, held at the Radisson Blu Water Garden Hotel in Dhaka, unveiled products designed to meet the growing needs of farmers, dealers, and nutritionists under the slogan "Result Hit."

With advanced European machinery ensuring precision and efficiency, the feed line caters to poultry, cattle, and fish farming, aiming to support sustainable livelihoods and increase productivity.

The event, attended by hundreds of industry stakeholders, was graced by Dr. Md. Reajul Huq, Director General of the Department of Livestock Services, as the Chief Guest. Distinguished attendees included Sheikh Jasim Uddin, Managing Director & CEO of AKIJ Resource; Faria Hossain, Chairman of AKIJ Resource; A. K. Joaddar, Vice Chairman of AKIJ Resource; and A.T.M. Habib Ullah, CEO of AKIJ Agro Feed Ltd.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Md. Reajul Huq emphasised the agricultural sector's critical role in national progress. 

"The agricultural sector is contributing to our national progress. Dealers and other stakeholders have contributed a lot to the development of this sector. My request to all stakeholders is that instead of blaming each other, we will all work together to expedite national progress and stand by the farmers and agri-entrepreneurs. In addition, we need to be more aware of the use of antibiotics. There is growing demand for our poultry feed products in the global market. I hope that AKIJ will continue its tradition of adding value to livestock farmers," he said.

The product line includes 58 specialized feed varieties tailored to poultry (broiler, layer, and cock), cattle (dairy and beef), and fish (floating, sinking, and shrimp feed). These scientifically developed feeds aim to improve livestock health, increase yield, and meet market demands, both locally and globally.

Sheikh Jasim Uddin expressed optimism about the impact of AKIJ Agro Feed products, stating, "After observing the enthusiasm of everyone present here today, we feel that AKIJ Agro Feed's products will be able to live up to the expectations to realize the slogan 'Result Hit'. We are quite optimistic that our feed products will positively impact the agricultural sector and bring meaningful changes in the lives of the agri-entrepreneurs."

Faria Hossain, Chairman of AKIJ Resource, reiterated the company's commitment to quality, saying, "Bangladesh's agricultural sector is a driving force of our national progress. AKIJ has always been uncompromising in terms of product quality. Each of our products and services reflects the faith the farmers of this country have put in us. Quality is our strength; and driven by this spirit, today we are starting the journey of AKIJ Agro Feed.."

A. K. Joaddar, the Vice Chairman of AKIJ Resource, and A. T. M. Habib Ullah, the CEO of AKIJ Agro Feed Limited, discussed the various approaches of AKIJ Resource. These included AKIJ Agro Feed's consistent investment in science-based research and development to meet the growing needs of the country's market, as well as their efforts to raise awareness of the use of high-quality feed among those involved in the agricultural sector. They also emphasized alleviating unemployment and economic development.
