Vietnam’s aquaculture feed industry
Vietnam’s aquaculture feed industry underpins one of the country’s largest export sectors, supplying inputs for shrimp, pangasius, and other farmed species.
The market is dominated by a mix of multinational firms and domestic producers, with feed costs accounting for a significant share of total aquaculture production expenses.
Demand is driven by export growth, rising global seafood consumption, and the expansion of intensive farming models that require higher-quality, formulated feed.
However, the industry faces pressures from volatile raw material prices, import dependence for key inputs, and tightening environmental and traceability standards in export markets.
