Japfa starts construction of chicken farm in Dak Lak

The farm will have 10 barns with an investment of VND70 billion ($2.92 million)

In July, Japfa Comfeed Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Japfa Vietnam) collaborated with the investor to hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the chicken farm located in Cu M'nga district. The modern farm, which is expected to open in early 2025, will cost nearly VND70 billion ($2.92 million).

The closed cage method will be applied to optimise conditions and ensure livestock productivity. When the farm opens, it will generate jobs for numerous local workers, while also shortening the time to transport fertilised eggs to the hatchery. This is anticipated to result in lower loss rates and increased quality of chicks.

Sanjeev Kumar, head of the Poultry Business at Japfa Vietnam, said, “The farm will help complete the closed production chain and promote high-tech agriculture in the Central Highlands. This strategic project marks a step forward in doubling the chickens output by 2028.”

Japfa has identified the Central Highlands as a key investment focus thanks to transport infrastructure and regional connectivity, with animal feed factories in Binh Phuoc and Binh Thuan, and large-scale poultry farming across the region.

The company has already set up important projects in the area, including a poultry hatchery in Krong Buk district with a capacity of 40 million chicks per year, and a veterinary diagnostics laboratory in Buon Ma Thuot city. The laboratory has three main functions: microbiology, physiochemistry, and serology, aiming to support disease prevention, monitor animal health, and increase livestock efficiency.

“In the next phase, Japfa Vietnam will expand its cooperation with farmers and improve their level of living in the industry direction. With these strategies, we will continue to bring stable economic value and reach mutual prosperity in areas where we operate,” Kumar shared.

After nearly 30 years of development, Japfa has completed a closed value chain "from farm to table" with operational networks nationwide. In terms of poultry farming, the company owns four hatcheries and nearly 30 high-quality chicken farms, and cooperates with more than 1,000 chicken farming households nationwide, supplying the market with more than 100 million chicks each year.
