The signing ceremony, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Sept. 12, highlighted the trilateral commitment to foster growth, innovation and sustainability in these sectors within Vietnam.

AFIA’s work in Vietnam has been supported by the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service Market Access Program funds, which have been instrumental in facilitating efforts to educate the Vietnamese feed and animal production industries on the value of U.S. feed ingredients and best practices for sustainable growth. The collaboration will help modernize Vietnam’s feed industry, which accounts for 65%-70% of the cost of livestock products, by promoting best practices and reinforcing consumer confidence in the safety and quality of Vietnamese feed and animal products. |

With this MOU, the AFIA, VFA and AHAV solidify their partnership, ensuring that Vietnam’s feed and livestock sectors are prepared to meet modern challenges while contributing to the country’s sustainable agricultural development. |
