De Heus and Minh Phu have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to support sustainable shrimp farming in Vietnam. The partnership aims to strengthen the shrimp value chain and boost global competitiveness.
Announcing a strategic agreement to promote the sustainable development of the shrimp industry value chain, De Heus and Minh Phu Seafood Group aim to improve aquaculture efficiency in Vietnam, ensure production stability, and strengthen the global position of the country’s shrimp industry.
According to the cooperation agreement, De Heus will provide Minh Phu with advanced nutritional solutions, high-quality aquaculture feed, and technical support services. Minh Phu will use shrimp feed products supplied by De Heus in its farming areas. In addition, the two parties will cooperate in implementing pilot programs, transferring technology, developing farming areas, and enhancing the value of Vietnamese shrimp products in the international market.
The partners note that integration across all stages of the chain – from breeding, farming, processing, and exporting to supporting elements such as feed, additives, supplies, and technology – will help create a sustainable value chain, ensuring stable output and enhancing the position of Vietnam’s shrimp industry. De Heus and Minh Phu believe that their partnership is a significant step in improving the efficiency of aquaculture. The companies aim to develop a more professional shrimp value chain that meets international standards and expands export opportunities. This effort is further supported by the ASC international certification awarded in October to the De Heus Vinh Long 4 aquaculture feed production plant, one of the world’s most prestigious standards.
“We are delighted to cooperate with Minh Phu – a leading enterprise in the aquaculture and seafood processing sector in Vietnam,” said Johan van den Ban, General Director of De Heus Vietnam and Asia. “The combination of De Heus’ strengths in nutrition and technical solutions with Minh Phu’s experience, scale, and processing and export capabilities will create a sustainable value chain for the shrimp industry, from feed and farming techniques to processing and connecting to international markets. This will be an important driving force for sustainable development, increasing the value and competitiveness of Vietnam’s shrimp industry, and strengthening their presence in demanding markets.”
