De Heus Animal Nutrition has officially opened a new marine and cold-water fish feed mill in Vinh Long Province, Vietnam.
The facility expands De Heus’ aquaculture portfolio and enhances its ability to serve farmers and producers in both domestic and international markets.
Designed with a production capacity of 168,000 tons/year, the new facility is De Heus’ first mill specifically dedicated to the production of feed for marine and cold-water fish species.
The investment reflects De Heus’ long-term commitment to supporting the growth of sustainable aquaculture through specialized nutrition solutions and advanced production technology.
Equipped with advanced technology sourced from Europe and the United States and operating according to internationally recognized standards, including ISO 22000, ASC Feed and BAP, the facility is designed to deliver consistent feed quality while supporting responsible aquaculture practices.
Supporting growth in marine aquaculture
As demand for high-quality seafood continues to grow worldwide, marine and cold-water aquaculture offer significant opportunities for sustainable growth and value creation.
The new mill enables De Heus to serve this growing segment with specialized nutritional solutions tailored to the needs of high-value aquaculture species.
In addition to supporting regional aquaculture development, the facility will produce specialized feed for export markets. This includes feed for marine species such as sea bass, barramundi and other commercially important fish species, helping producers meet the nutritional requirements of increasingly demanding markets.
Investing in innovation and sustainability
Sustainability has been integrated into the design and operation of the facility. The mill has been developed to optimize the efficient use of raw materials, improve operational performance and reduce energy consumption throughout the production process, aligning with De Heus’ broader commitment to responsible production and sustainable food systems.
“This investment reflects De Heus’ long-term commitment to marine and cold-water aquaculture. Through specialized nutrition solutions and modern production technology, we aim to help farmers improve performance, enhance product quality and contribute to a more sustainable aquaculture value chain,” said Johan van den Ban, CEO of De Heus Vietnam & Asia.
Looking ahead
The new facility reflects De Heus’ ongoing investment in innovation, sustainability and farmer success.
By expanding its specialized feed production capabilities, De Heus continues to support the development of efficient and responsible aquaculture systems while helping meet the growing global demand for high-quality seafood.
