The Australian-Vietnamese joint venture is trying to diversify its business as the pork industry in this country gets a hard hit from the ASF virus.
Mavin Group, the Australian-Vietnamese joint venture who last year became the first business in Vietnam to export fresh pork to a foreign market (Myanmar), is now looking to diversify its business with an investment in duck breed production centres as the Vietnamese pork industry is affected by multiple ASF outbreaks.
The group has imported high-quality duck breeds from the UK and France and applied modern cross-breeding technologies to create breeds suitable to the local climate, according to Nhan Dan magazine.
Mavin intends to account for 40% of Vietnam’s duck meat market in the next five years and to open exports market in the future. To achieve these goals, the group has set up 5 duck breed production centres in Vietnam, with a total annual capacity of 12 million ducklings. Mavin Group is one of the Vietnamese enterprises that implemented a highly automated system in all the production processes.
