To mark the start of the joint venture, Matrix hosted a farmer program on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 in Rajahmundry. The program was attended by 300 farmers and feed dealers from all over India. Two Directors of Cargill Animal Nutrition, Dr. Lorenzo Mapua, and Mr. Omar Saddeque attended the program. The CEO of Matrix Biosciences, Mr. V. Siva Prasad presided over the function. Mr. Makarand Deshpande, one of the Directors of Matrix was also present.    

 

Dr. A. Victor Suresh, who worked with both Matrix Biosciences and Cargill Animal Nutrition, to facilitate the transfer of feed technology from CAN to Matrix, was the guest of honor at the program.

 

Two new shrimp feed brands, LEGEND and MAGIC, were launched at the meeting.

 

Speaking at the program, Mr. Saddeque, who is assuming the role of new business development in Asia, remarked that Cargill has a long history in global aquaculture and through its increasing commitment to Asian aquaculture, will deliver programs to help Indian aqua farmers to get the benefits of the latest advances in feed and farming technologies.

 

Dr. Mapua stated that Cargill Animal Nutrition is planning to become the number one company in shrimp nutrition in India within the next five years. Mr. Siva Prasad explained how Matrix Biosciences has grown in the last five years and how it had brought advanced technology to its feed production facility.
