Green Plains Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Optimal Aquafeed, announced the formation of an exclusive partnership with Hayashikane Sangyo Co. Ltd. of Japan. The companies have come together to deliver innovative solutions for fast-growing global aquaculture markets using technology developed and successfully deployed in Japanese production.
These solutions are a perfect complement to Green Plains' ultra-high protein ingredients produced at its biorefineries.

Feed is an important input variable in aquaculture production and the partnership between Green Plains and Hayashikane is designed to meet the feed requirements in RAS systems and beyond.
The initial phase of the partnership will focus on Optimal Aquafeed's deployment of proprietary solutions, developed by Hayashikane, to North and Central American markets.
