BAF Vietnam and Muyuan launch landmark pig farm project

With an investment of approximately USD 454 million, the project is expected to generate USD 378 million in annual revenue. It received national approval in August.

Vietnam’s meat import challenge

Despite a well-developed livestock sector, Vietnam continues to rely heavily on imported meat. As of July 2025, the country brought in 534,800 tons of meat products worth over USD 1 billion—an 11% increase year-on-year.

Pork remains the most consumed meat in Vietnam, and rising import volumes have raised concerns about food security and price volatility.

The Tay Ninh complex aims to help close this gap. By late 2027, nearly 20,000 pigs from the facility are expected to reach southern markets, helping meet peak year-end demand and stabilize prices.

In the meantime, BAF Vietnam continues to maintain a steady supply, delivering around 800,000 pigs in 2025, including 800-1000 pigs monthly to Ho Chi Minh City.

Innovation, biosecurity, and sustainability

BAF Vietnam General Director Bui Huong Giang said the high-rise model improves disease control and biosecurity. Advanced design and filtration systems will help prevent outbreaks of viruses like African swine fever.

The facility will follow circular economy practices by recycling wastewater and converting waste into organic fertilizer. This will help reduce environmental impact and support Vietnam’s sustainable farming goals climate resilience.

A representative from Muyuan, China’s leading livestock group, said the vertical farm design optimizes land use, needs less labor, and cuts feed and logistics costs. These efficiencies are expected to make pork more affordable for consumers.

This pioneering project marks a new chapter in Vietnam’s livestock sector—one built on innovation, sustainability, and strategic collaboration.
