Interview with Jan Druyts from Nukamel

All About Feed interviews the MD of Nukamel, producer of milk replacers in the Netherlands and Belgium. The company recently celebrated its 65^th anniversary. We ask what changes have happened in the dairy sector, and what challenges the industry will face in the future.

“The European dairy market is a relatively stable environment,” says Mr Druyts, adding, “Cooperation is becoming more important.”

An outlook on EU agriculture

The EU Agricultural Outlook 2019-2030 report presents the outlook for major EU agricultural markets and for agricultural income until 2030. Societal expectations and policies relating to health, origin, the environment and climate change, etc., will continue to shape agricultural markets. Furthermore, supply for feed will grow globally, creating opportunities for EU exports.

Societal expectations extend beyond affordability to issues such as health, origin, convenience, environment, climate change and animal welfare. Photo: Henk Riswick
