Insights from the Healthy And Happy Animals (Vật Nuôi Vui Khoẻ) on a challenge that is drawing increasing attention across the sector.Vietnam’s livestock industry still relies heavily on imported animal protein sources, while global supply chains are under mounting pressure — from declining supply, surging demand, exchange rate volatility, to increasingly stringent sustainability standards such as ASC and BAP. These factors are making the raw material supply chain for both livestock and aquaculture feeds more unstable and harder to predict.
As input costs continue to fluctuate, the issue is no longer just about short-term price movements — but about the industry’s dependence on imported ingredients and companies’ ability to manage long-term risk.
In response, many businesses are beginning to consider domestic biological protein solutions as a complementary approach — to strengthen supply resilience, reduce market exposure, and meet rising sustainability expectations.
At VNF, this approach is being implemented by our Animal Nutrition team – Healthy And Happy Animals (Vật Nuôi Vui Khỏe) through locally developed biological animal protein solutions that can partially replace fishmeal and imported proteins. These solutions have been applied in practice, meet standards such as MarinTrust, ASC, and BAP, and have shown positive results in both nutritional performance and cost efficiency.
VNF is sharing this video and perspective from the Healthy And Happy Animals team as a contribution to the industry’s ongoing discussion — not for a single market cycle, but for the long-term stability and sustainability of the sector.
