Gold Coin has announced the opening of its new feed mill, set to drive regional growth and strengthen food security in Southwestern China. The $24 million feed mill is designed to eliminate cross-contamination, which ensures superior feed quality and enhances animal health, productivity, and profitability, the company pointed out.
One of the pioneers in animal nutrition and manufacturing of scientifically-balanced animal feed, Gold Coin has announced the opening of its fifth facility in China, the Gold Coin Yunnan Feed Mill, located in Yuxi, Yunnan province. With a $24 million investment, this new 4.4-hectare facility significantly expands the company’s production capacity and further solidifies its position in animal nutrition and feed production across Asia, the company emphasized.
The state-of-the-art feed mill will serve as a critical production hub for Southwestern China. Built on 4.4 hectares of land and with an initial annual capacity of 300,000 tons—scalable to 500,000 tons—it reportedly underscores Gold Coin’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and sustainable growth. Beyond boosting production, the facility is expected to create jobs, further strengthen food security, and support local communities in the region.
Gold Coin is part of Aboitiz Foods, one of the largest privately owned agribusiness companies in the Asia Pacific region.

Equipped with advanced technology and designed with high biosecurity standards, the Gold Coin Yunnan Feed Mill is designed to accommodate up to 10 independent production lines, eliminating cross-contamination which ensures superior feed quality and enhances animal health, productivity, and profitability. The facility’s advanced automation, including a centralized control room, automated hydraulic flaps, and precision grinders, optimizes production processes and ensures product consistency, Gold Coin pointed out.
“Yunnan province is a key agricultural hub in Southwestern China,” explained Dr. Ong Kar Ching, First Vice President and Country Direction of Gold Coin China. “This new mill allows us to provide high-quality feed directly to local farmers, boosting productivity and supporting the region’s growing livestock industry.”
The company stated that the feed mill supports Gold Coin’s mission to nourish the future of food and agribusiness across Asia, ensuring its growth positively impacts partners and stakeholders. The agribusiness division, encompassing animal feed, pet food, and specialty nutrition, plays a key role in this regional expansion.
Dr. Ong added, “This mill is a significant step forward in our journey to become a fully integrated agribusiness and food company in the region. Its strategic location, advanced technology, and sustainability focus enable us to better serve our customers while contributing to Yunnan province’s economic growth.”
The Yunnan feed mill prioritizes sustainability through intelligent systems that reduce energy consumption, prevent spoilage, and minimize waste. Backed by a dedicated research and development team, the facility adheres to stringent international feed quality and safety standards while upholding exceptional resource efficiency.
It also adheres to the highest standards in feed quality and safety, with a team of experts dedicated to ongoing research and development, the company added. The feed formulations comply with the country’s regulations and are guided by industry-leading research and global benchmarks.
