IMAX Technology Solutions Joint Stock Company has recently proposed to Dong Thap Provincial People's Committee to invest in a project combining a pig farm with solar power in Tan Ho Co commune, Tan Hong district.

According to the director of IMAX Technology Solutions, the pig farm has 48,000 pigs with 10,000 sows and a construction area of ​​30 hectares, with a total area of ​​100 hectares for the entire project. The barn is enclosed and contains both an exhaust fan system and a cooling rig to regulate the temperature, which ranges from 27 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Regarding solar power, the company will invest in a system with a capacity of 30MWp. The land area of ​​the project is obtained by renting land from the people.

Mr. Huynh Minh Tuan, Vice Chairman of Dong Thap Provincial People's Committee, said that Dong Thap has recently taken a stance to promote the development of renewable energy, including solar power. The project proposal by IMAX Technology Solutions Company is therefore in line with the general direction of the province.

Dong Thap currently has a total herd of nearly 100,000 pigs. Pig raising combined with solar power is considered one of many new directions to help the livestock sector develop using technologies of the Industry 4.0 era.
