Hamlet Protein CEO Erik Visser on trade volatility, China dependency and the supply chain reset

Erik Visser, CEO of Hamlet Protein, joins the Feed Strategy Podcast to share his outlook on the forces reshaping the global animal feed industry in 2026. Drawing on a career spanning multiple continents and multinational companies, Visser makes the case that the industry is moving from a model optimized for efficiency to one that must be built for resilience.  Here, he also identifies two things the industry tends to underestimate: the structural — not cyclical — nature of volatility, and the urgency of attracting new talent to the sector.
