About us
Experts in the field of Animal Nutrition
Animal Nutrition, that is our core business
We are De Heus Uganda. We are part of Royal De Heus, a Dutch family owned business active in milling for over 300 years. De Heus is one of the top ten animal nutrition companies globally and can lean on extensive experience and expertise in feeding Tilapia led by its state-of-the-art factories and laboratories in Vietnam.
De Heus has been growing steadily in Africa. It currently produces in Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, Ghana and Ivory Coast. It will now add its first dedicated aquafeed plant in Africa with its new plant near Jinja under De Heus Uganda to feed the nascent aquaculture industry in East Africa.
About the site
We recently bought a site in Njeru, near Jinja and the Source of the Nile. The site is ideally located close to most of our customers in Uganda. As it is close to Lake Victoria, we will be able to serve customers around this lake which has incredible potential for growing Tilapia.
We will also be able to source raw materials from Uganda that is able to grow most agricultural ingredients locally with its highly fertile agricultural land.

Koudijs, our export activities
We are best known in Uganda for our brand Koudijs, which has been active in the country since 2018 and leads in various livestock categories with its trusted quality. With the decision to produce fish feed locally, we will gradually change the brand name to De Heus while Koudijs remains in the market for other livestock categories.
We hope to help the region fulfill its aquaculture potential and improve access to healthy, environmentally friendly protein grown locally.
