NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE February 2026 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.

The project will exclusively use Sea Forest’s, SeaFeed, using water delivery technology developed by Direct Injection Technologies and is supported by major Australian beef processor, Teys Australia. While cattle being fed grain fed diets are relatively easy to manage with methane-inhibiting feed additives, finding effective and reliable ways to deliver emissions reduction to cattle during the earlier stages of their life on grass has always been a bigger challenge. The shared ambition of the initiative is to significantly reduce methane emissions and unlock additional productivity across the beef value chain and support the broad adoption of SeaFeed by the Australian beef industry. The partners will conduct a commercial-scale trial at a cattle property in New South Wales, testing both water-delivered and dry-lick formulations of SeaFeed, with the water-delivered formulation administered via DIT dosing technology. “Partnering in the grassfed trial would help validate animal performance outcomes delivered in addition to the established emissions reduction and supports the scalable adoption of a science-based solution for producers and retailers,” said Sam Elsom, Sea Forest Founder and Chief Executive.
