South Africa's Astral Foods Ltd has opened a new farm starting with a $10 million chicken hatchery, as a first move in plans to expand across southern Africa. According Roedolf Steenkamp, Astral managing director, "The development is another step in Astral's business plan to strategically focus expansion in a responsible and cautious manner outside the borders of South Africa....The hatchery and breeder farm have been established to produce and hatch up to 1 million day-old chicks per week as demand for broilers in the region increases".
