Animal Feed & Ingredients

Behind every chicken, pig and pangasius that Vietnam raises to eat and to export is an enormous amount of feed. And most of the raw materials for that feed come from abroad. Corn, soybean meal, fish meal and nutritional additives are imported each year at a value of several billion dollars, making animal feed and its ingredients one of the largest agricultural import groups.

The cause lies in scale. Vietnam’s livestock and aquaculture sectors are among the largest in the region, but the domestic area planted with corn and soybeans is not enough to feed that herd. We import corn from South America and soybean meal from the US, Argentina and Brazil to fill the gap.

For farmers and feed mills, the price of raw materials is a lifeline. Feed usually makes up most of the cost of raising an animal, so even a small rise in the price of corn or soybean meal noticeably thins the profit. Buying the right-quality materials at the right moment can be the line between a profitable season and a losing one.
