GreenFeed Vietnam JSC signed a contract with AGCO GSI Company (Malaysia) to build farm infrastructure, including a farm system, cooling system and an automatic feeding system for pig breeding.

The contract, signed on Monday, was issued by GreenFeed, Viet Nam’s high-tech pig breeding project in Binh Thuan Province, with a total investment of US$25 million, raising 60,000 units of market hog and 5,000 units of sow. By the end of 2018, the project is expected to provide safe pork products to the market.

Based in southern Long An Province, GreenFeed’s goal is to develop the value chain of animal breeding, provide feed to animal husbandry and slaughter, leading to a cut in the cost of raising pigs to below VND30,000 per kg, from the current VND34,000 per kg to compete with imported pork.

GreenFeed plans to develop this model of pig breeding among a large number of farmers, according to the Thanh Nien newspaper. — VNS
