De Heus LLC, a global leader in the production of animal feed from the Netherlands, said it plans to build two additional factories in Vietnam by the end of 2015, bringing its total number of production centres in the country to seven.

Several days ago De Heus LLC broke ground on its fifth factory in northern Vinh Phuc province. The new facility, estimated at $30 million, will produce feed for pigs, poultry, cows and aqua with an annual capacity of 150,000 tonnes in its first phase.

“Currently De Heus animal feed products are mainly sold in the south of Vietnam and exported to Cambodia, Myanmar and the Philippines. The factory in Vinh Phuc is to expand the consumption of De Heus products in the north of Vietnam,” said Gabor Fluit, De Heus Vietnam’s general director.

He added, “Our difference from others lays in our product quality and management method. We not only sell animal feed, but also support farmers with animal raising techniques.”

De Heus LLC is a top ten animal feed producer in Vietnam with an output of 385,000 tonnes last year. The company is trying to make it into the top five producers in the near future.
