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.
