In Vinh Long Province, Vietnam, the feed mill expands De Heus’ aquaculture portfolio and enhances its ability to serve farmers and producers in both domestic and international markets.
De Heus Animal Nutrition has officially opened a new marine and cold-water fish feed mill with a production capacity of 168,000 tonnes per year. This is De Heus’ first mill specifically dedicated to the production of feed for marine and cold-water fish species.
The investment reflects De Heus’ long-term commitment to supporting the growth of sustainable aquaculture through specialized nutrition solutions and advanced production technology.
The feedmill has advanced technology from Europe and the United States and operating according to internationally recognised standards, including ISO 22000, ASC Feed and BAP, the facility is designed to deliver consistent feed quality while supporting responsible aquaculture practices.
Marine aquaculture is growing in Vietnam, and new mill enables De Heus to serve this growing segment with specialized nutritional solutions tailored to the needs of high-value aquaculture species. It will also produce specialized feed for export markets. This includes feed for marine species such as sea bass (barramundi) and other commercially important fish species.
Sustainability has been integrated into the design and operation of the facility. The mill has been developed to optimize the efficient use of raw materials, improve operational performance and reduce energy consumption throughout the production process, aligning with De Heus’ broader commitment to responsible production and sustainable food systems.
