Japfa Comfeed Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Japfa Vietnam) has recently inaugurated the Animal Feed Factory and Poultry Slaughter Factory at Minh Hung Sikico Industrial Park (Dong No commune, Hon Quan district, Binh Phuoc). These two factories are part of a livestock project with a total capital of USD 230 million that Japfa Vietnam is investing in Binh Phuoc province.

Animal feed factory is invested nearly VND 400 billion in phase 1, having a capacity of 240,000 tons/year. The factory is built according to modern technology with a cold storage system at a temperature of 20-250C to preserve vitamins and flavor enhancers in order to maintain the stability of the quality of production inputs. The factory pays keen attention to environmental factors, equipping a wastewater treatment system with a capacity of 100m3/day and boiler exhaust technology to help reduce carbon emissions.

As for the poultry slaughtering factory, the initial investment is over VND 400 billion, having a capacity of 60,000 heads/day. This factory is equipped with modern infrastructure imported from Europe, meeting GMP, HACCP, ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 standards. The poultry slaughter factory is officially put into operation to meet the varied demands of many customer groups such as restaurants, hotels, canteens, and fast food chains.

Previously, Japfa Vietnam also inaugurated and put into operation the aquatic feed factory in Long An, with a total designed capacity of 60,000 tons/year.

Arif Widjaja, General Director of Japfa Vietnam said: “By putting these three projects into operation, Japfa Vietnam aims to produce 1.5 million tons of animal feed in 2023, completing the Feed-Farm-Food supply chain and employing more than 200 local workers. In the next phase, the company will continue to expand investment to optimize productivity, train human resources, improve product quality, bring value to customers, and aim toward cooperation for the sake of common prosperity”.

Tran Tue Hien, Chairman of Binh Phuoc People's Committee, said, "The two factories that Japfa Vietnam has recently inaugurated along with the chains of Japfa's invested farms in Binh Phuoc have brought many job opportunities for local workers. These are good signals, which give Binh Phuoc confidence to further attract investment”.

According to Tan Yong Nang, CEO of Japfa Group (Indonesia), investment activities in Binh Phuoc have demonstrated Japfa's ambitions in terms of development as well as production and business activities in Vietnam. Possessing great strengths and advantages in the livestock industry, Vietnam is always a priority destination for Japfa’s investment activities.

“Sustainable development”, “sincerity” and “trust”, these are three of the most important strategies in the investment activities of Japfa Group. Following that principle, Japfa has successfully established and developed production and business activities in key markets such as Indonesia, China, Vietnam, India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. Vietnam is one of the strategic markets that Japfa is focusing its investment.

Since Japfa Group started investing activities in Vietnam in 1996, Japfa Vietnam has made great strides and has now become one of the biggest contributors to the enterprise, only behind Japfa Indonesia. Japfa Group, with its vision and mission, always commits to supporting its members. This also explains Japfa Vietnam’s vigorous growth in recent years. “We have always made a commitment to continuing consistent investment and making progress in important projects, which include investment projects in Vietnam,” Tan Yong Nang said.

Japfa Comfeed Vietnam Co., Ltd held the inauguration ceremony for the Animal Feed Factory and Poultry Slaughter Factory at Minh Hung Sikico Industrial Park on May 10.

Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien, emphasized the potential for the development of Vietnam’s livestock industry. “With the experience of Japfa Vietnam, I believe that the feed factory and slaughterhouse in Binh Phuoc, when put into operation, will make positive contributions in the process of integrating Vietnam’s livestock industry to the world market and develop towards safety, efficiency and sustainability”.

Deputy Minister Phung Duc Tien proposed Japfa Vietnam coordinate with Binh Phuoc People's Committee to build a disease-free area, promote deep processing to export poultry products to foreign countries and promote the construction of raw material areas for animal feed production to reduce dependence on imported inputs.
