Tristan Aboitiz, Chairman and CEO of Aboitiz Foods Group, expects that the Gold Coin Feedmill Long An factory will bring sustainable growth and attractive profits to animal feed dealers and livestock farms, provide stable jobs for hundreds of workers, and contribute to the budget of Long An province.

In addition, the factory will promote the business activities of partners, associated with community development, transforming to adapt to new needs in the livestock industry and significant challenges from the animal feed market; at the same time, contributing to perfecting the food supply chain and safety for the provinces in the Central, Southern and Mekong Delta regions.
