De Heus Animal Nutrition has officially opened a new marine and cold-water fish feed mill in Vinh Long Province, Vietnam, expanding its aquaculture portfolio and production capacity for domestic and international markets.
The facility has an annual production capacity of 84,000 tonnes and is the company’s first mill dedicated to manufacturing feed for marine and cold-water fish species. De Heus said the investment reflects its long-term commitment to supporting sustainable aquaculture through specialised nutrition and advanced production technology.
The mill is equipped with production technology from Europe and the United States and operates in accordance with internationally recognised standards, including ISO 22000, ASC Feed and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP). It has been designed to deliver consistent feed quality while supporting responsible aquaculture production.
The facility will produce specialised feed for marine species including sea bass, barramundi and other commercially important fish, supplying both the domestic market and export customers.
Sustainability has been incorporated into the design and operation of the mill, with measures to improve the efficient use of raw materials, enhance operational performance and reduce energy consumption throughout the production process.
Johan van den Ban, CEO of De Heus Vietnam & Asia, said the investment demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to marine and cold-water aquaculture. He added that De Heus aims to help farmers improve production performance, enhance product quality and contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture value chain through specialised nutrition and modern production technology.
The new facility forms part of De Heus’ ongoing investment in innovation, sustainability and specialised aquafeed production to support the growing global demand for high-quality seafood.
