Vinamilk's opens 7th Global GAP-standard dairy farm

The Viet Nam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk) has opened its seventh Global GAP (Good Agriculture Practice) certified diary farm in the northern province of Ha Tinh.

 

The VND300 billion (US$13.34 MILLION) farm has 3,000 dairy cows.

It is equipped with "leading technology applications" from Sweden that ensure an ideal living environment for the cows.

It is the first in Viet Nam to import high-yield cows from the US that reportedly produce 20 per cent more milk than other breeds.

Vinamilk's farms and its contracted farmers have an estimated 120,000 cows that provide 750 tonnes of milk a day.

The company is set to open two more farms in Thanh Hoa and Tay Ninh provinces with 8,000 and 16,000 cows by year-end.

It aims at increase its herd to 200,000 by 2020, when it will produce 1,800 tonnes of milk annually.
