New feed production facility commissioned in Mizil, Romania

A new feed production plant has been commissioned in Mizil, Romania, strengthening the country's capacity in the livestock feed sector.

The launch comes amid rising demand for animal protein and ongoing volatility in grain markets, which continue to pressure production costs.

The facility features a high level of automation, integrating all stages of production—from grain intake to processing and packaging—into a single system. The project was implemented with the participation of Dutch International Trading and MGN, with technology supplied by Silos Córdoba.

The plant includes 23 silos along with dedicated storage for raw materials and finished feed, enabling continuous production and improved inventory management. This setup helps reduce downtime and optimise operational efficiency—key factors for the feed industry.

Romania remains one of the leading grain producers in the European Union, particularly in corn and wheat, providing a solid raw material base for feed manufacturing. However, the sector is still fragmented, with many smaller and less efficient producers operating alongside modern facilities.

The launch of the Mizil plant reflects a broader shift toward more integrated and technologically advanced production models. It is expected to support more stable feed supply, lower operating costs, and enhance the competitiveness of Romania's livestock sector, although further modernisation efforts will still be needed.
