The Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), in collaboration with the Topsector Agri & Food, wished to have a better understanding of the Dutch landscape of alternative feed ingredients.

Larive conducted a study outlining the main Dutch players active in the field of alternative animal feed ingredients, detailing their product-service offerings, locations, partnerships, international activities, ambitions, and perceived bottlenecks for further international expansion. Larive also identified and reported on attractive markets for international expansion and conducted a SWOT analysis of the Dutch ecosystem. The study distinguished four categories of alternative feed ingredients, being novels, upgraded organic products, upgraded raw materials, and more sustainable conventional materials.
