(VOV) -Vietnam spent nearly US$3 million on import of cattle and poultry breeds in the eight months leading to September, announced the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD)’s Department of Livestock Production.
The latest report by the Department of Livestock Production showed that in the eight-month period, Vietnam imported more than 1,600 piglets worth US$1.52 million in total, up 89% from a year earlier, mostly from Canada, Thailand, Denmark, and the US.
Nearly 1 million fowl were shipped to the Vietnamese market at a total value of US$3.29 million, mostly from New Zealand and the US.
In recent years, Vietnam bought around 14 poultry breeds from overseas markets for State-owned farms, and a number of foreign direct investment projects, such as CP. Group, Japta Comfeed and Topmill.
Imported animal breeds have generated high profits, therefore, there’s an increasing demand in the domestic market that is forecast to see strong growth in the future.
