Haid Group expands Southeast Asia footprint with new feed plants in Vietnam and Laos

VIETNAM – Haid Group has launched two major feed production projects in Vietnam and Laos, strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia’s rapidly growing livestock and aquaculture sectors.

The company has broken ground on a new feed production facility in northern Vietnam through its subsidiary Yongfu Hailong Agricultural and Livestock Technology Co., Ltd. 

Located in Phu Tho Province, the plant is expected to enhance Haid’s production capacity in key agricultural regions where demand for high-quality feed continues to rise.

Haid entered the Vietnamese market in 2011 and has since built an integrated value chain spanning feed production, animal health, breeding and aquaculture. 

The company currently operates more than ten feed mills in the country, alongside farming and breeding operations, positioning itself as a major player in the local market.

The new facility will produce feed for poultry, pigs, and aquaculture, with a particular focus on tilapia and carp. 

Equipped with advanced processing technologies, the plant is designed to deliver cost-effective feed solutions while also providing technical support services to farmers, reflecting Haid’s integrated business model.

In parallel, Haid has also initiated construction of its first feed plant in Laos, marking its entry into a market with growing agricultural potential but limited access to modern feed infrastructure. 

The facility, located in the Saysettha Comprehensive Development Zone in Vientiane, will produce feed for multiple livestock and aquaculture species tailored to local farming systems.

Beyond manufacturing, the Laos project will replicate Haid’s “feed + seedlings + animal health” model, combining production with technical services to improve farm productivity and efficiency. 

The approach is increasingly being adopted by large feed companies seeking to differentiate beyond commodity feed supply.

Haid is also scaling its presence in Africa, using Egypt as a regional hub while exploring opportunities in Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda. 

In South America, the company has established a base in Ecuador and is preparing to expand into markets such as Brazil and Chile.

As demand for animal protein continues to grow, investments in feed manufacturing capacity and integrated service models are expected to play a critical role in supporting productivity and efficiency across both livestock and aquaculture systems.
