Cobb seeks to expand in Africa with a new joint venture with the Irvine’s Group. The joint venture will open a new grandparent (GP) operation in Tanzania that will help supply East Africa with healthy, affordable and quality broiler breeding stock. “With over 700 million people, Sub-Saharan Africa has a great long-term potential and we are excited for this new partnership and the future of Cobb East Africa,” said Mutimer. Cobb will leverage Irvine’s existing market development, local knowledge and existing parent stock operation in Tanzania. Local production, via Cobb East Africa, will deliver more competitive cost and reliable Cobb supply.
