During this year’s Farmers' Day Celebration, Bigstars Animal Feed Limited, a subsidiary of the Kingdom Exim Group, launched its newly improved products, namely the 5% layer concentrate and 20% layer concentrate. The ribbon-cutting for the product launch was carried out by the Regional Minister and the Mo Manhene.
Speaking at the Farmers' Day Celebration in the Bono East Region, Mr. Blaboe highlighted the various contributions made by Kingdom Exim Group and its subsidiary, Big Stars Animal Feed Limited, towards the growth of the agricultural sector in Ghana over the years.
Addressing the Bono East Regional Minister, Hon. Kwasi Adu-Gyan, the Mo Manhene, Nana Kwaku Dankwa III, and other dignitaries during the celebration, Mr. Blaboe recounted that "Big Stars Animal Feed Limited has been providing quality animal feeds over the years and has built a strong reputation in the animal feed industry. We have achieved this by always providing quality products (mashes and concentrates) to our esteemed customers. Our concentrates are highly patronised in the Ashanti, Bono East, Bono, Ahafo, and Northern regions."
He noted that "the concentrate feeds constitute about 40% of the feed market and are heavily enjoyed by many imported products.
According to him, Big Stars’ concentrates are locally manufactured under strict nutritional formulation, certified and approved by the FDA and GSA, saying "the relaunch and rebranding of our products are aimed at reducing the cost of production of poultry and livestock and providing them with the requisite nutrition for optimum growth and development."
