Viet Nam’s animal feed imports up sharply

Viet Nam’s import value of animal feed and material for production of animal feed witnessed a year-on-year increase of 41.6 per cent in the first quarter of this year.

 

This was stated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The value reached $955 million in the first three months, including $343 million in March.
