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.
