Vietnam Animal Feed Market – Overview

The term "animal feed" refers to foods produced and cultivated for ruminants, poultry, swine, aquatic animals, etc. Forage and fodder are the two primary categories of animal feed. Animal feeds are created by carefully choosing and combining ingredients in order to provide highly nutritious meals that both maintain the health of the animals and enhance the quality of such end products as milk, meat, or eggs. Cereal grains, hay and silage crops, grasses, pastures, and other food crop byproducts, such as sugar beet pulp, are some of the most preferred feeds.

Growth Drivers

Favorable Private-Public Initiatives

With the growing demand for meat and animal products in the country, the animal husbandry industry is also flourishing, which is directly influencing the demand for animal feed in the country. To accommodate the rising demand, the Vietnamese government is increasing imports of animal feed in general. According to statistics from the General Department of Customs and the Department of Livestock Production (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development), corn and soybean imports increased overall in the first year of 2022 and cost close to USD 2.7 billion, 2.2 million tons of oilseeds, 0.73 million tons of wheat, fish meal, bone meal, animal protein, and a combination of trace elements (Premix) are just a few of the additional materials that Vietnam spends more than USD 400 million on.

Restraints

Increasing Prevalence of Zoonotic Diseases

According to a paper published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, highly pathogenic avian influenza, leptospirosis, anthrax, and Streptococcus suis are among the five priority zoonoses that the Vietnamese government has identified. The increasing prevalence of zoonotic diseases is directly impacting market demand for animal meat and other products, which may further hinder the growth of the Vietnam animal feed market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Vietnam Animal Feed Market

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the growth of the Vietnam animal feed market. The Vietnamese animal feed market is heavily dependent on imports, particularly from Argentina and the United States, to meet its demand. However, restrictions on cross-border trade to prevent the virus spread resulted in a huge shortage of animal feedstock in the market. Furthermore, the rise in awareness regarding the zoonotic disease limited animal meat consumption and directly influenced the demand for meat from the hospitality industry, which further affected the Vietnam animal feed market.

Based on product, the Vietnam animal feed market is segmented into fodder, forage, and others. Fodder accounts for the largest share of the Vietnam animal feed market. Fodder is an improved and more sustainable alternative. It just needs a fodder system, water, and barley as inputs. Unlike traditional farming, fodder eliminates the need for expensive modifications. Additionally, fodder replaces the requirement for additional feed sources, many of which include GM maize or soy components.

Vietnam Animal Feed Market – By Livestock

During the period between 2022 through 2030, this would represent a 3.1% yearly growth rate. The expansion of the food and hospitality sectors is emerging as a major driver of the rising demand for swine animal feeds.
