GreedFeed aims for safe pork

The GreenFeed Việt Nam Corporation will help the southern province of Bình Thuận build a chain of safe pork production facilities from now until 2022.

Under the co-operation agreement signed by representatives of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Department of Animal Health, Bình Thuận Province and GreenFeed in HCM City on Saturday, the chain will be built following standards of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), as being free of diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease, pig cholera and blue ear, ensuring sustainable livestock development, improving product value, providing safe products for domestic consumption and meeting international requirements to export pork.

Đỗ Cao Bằng, General Director of GreenFeed Corporation, said the parties were building a database to implement their goals. The chain was expected to start in June this year.

"The company has conducted a review and assessment of the conditions of animal feed factories, pig breeding facilities in Bình Thuận Province and organised training courses for officials and employees working directly in these farms," said Mr Bằng.
