NWAF will manufacture a full portfolio across the major livestock species, in bulk and bagged formats, as meal, crumb or pellet. The portfolio is deliberately broad enough to diversify demand across species and cycles, but weighted toward poultry, which dominates SA feed demand, and toward higher-margin custom, private-label and supplement lines over time.

Portfolio logic
- Poultry as the anchor — broiler and layer feed together are ~44% of revenue, matching the market’s structure and providing volume to fill the plant.
- Ruminant for diversification — beef, feedlot and dairy feed are lower-margin but high-volume, absorbing fixed cost and diversifying demand away from poultry cycles.
- Custom & private-label for margin and utilisation — these grow from 8% to 13% of volume, lifting blended margin and filling capacity with contracted, sticky demand.
- Supplements as the margin jewel — minerals, licks and concentrates carry the highest per-tonne value and anchor the technical-selling proposition, though they are a small share of volume.
