Cobb-Vantress Inc. and its long-standing partner Al-Watania Poultry are celebrating continued expansion in the Middle East. Following investments in hatcheries, grandparent operations, and distribution, the companies are set to produce 4 million Cobb500 parent stock per year starting in 2021. This is a 100% increase in production from the previous year and is expected to increase food security in Saudi Arabia and the surrounding Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member countries.
“Supporting the Middle East with quality products and expertise is a top priority for Cobb as part of our mission to make quality protein accessible, healthy, and affordable worldwide,” said Pelayo Casanovas, vice president of Cobb-Vantress EMEA and Asia-Pacific. “Cobb and Al-Watania Poultry are like one family, and this continued growth indicates the strength of our collaboration.”
