“Overcoming challenges caused by the pandemic, Japfa Vietnam is now in a favourable stage to strongly expand its business activities. With the support of the Vietnamese Government and the leaders of Binh Phuoc Province, we are confident that Japfa Vietnam will fare well in the future, contributing considerably to Viet Nam’s target to make its animal husbandry industry on par with those of developed countries in the region by 2030,” said Arif Widjaja.

With total investment capital of approximately VND5.3 trillion (US$230 million), Japfa Vietnam is expected to start construction of an animal feed production plant, a poultry slaughterhouse and a pig slaughterhouse in Minh Hung-Sikico Industrial Park in the first quarter of 2021. Later, in the fourth quarter of 2021, Japfa Vietnam will continue to build an egg incubating plant, a commercial chicken farm, a sperm centre and a pig farm in the High-Tech Park of Binh Phuoc Province.
