Research Methodology
Step 1: Ecosystem Creation
We begin by mapping the entire aquafeed ecosystem in Vietnam, identifying both demand-side and supply-side entities. On the supply side, this includes feed mills, ingredient suppliers (fishmeal, soybean, corn, alternative proteins), premix and additive manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers. On the demand side, it spans shrimp, pangasius, tilapia, carp, and mollusk farmers, seafood processors, cooperatives, and exporters. From this ecosystem, we shortlist 5–6 leading feed producers in Vietnam—such as Cargill, Skretting, CP Vietnam, De Heus, Grobest, and GreenFeed—based on financial information, mill capacity, regional reach, and client penetration. Sourcing leverages industry articles, government publications, and proprietary databases to consolidate a comprehensive ecosystem view.
Step 2: Desk Research
An exhaustive desk research process is carried out using both secondary and proprietary databases to construct a baseline understanding of the Vietnam aquafeed market. We examine industry-level metrics such as feed production volumes, aquaculture output, raw material imports, and regulatory frameworks. Company-level data—including press releases, annual reports, sustainability disclosures, and financial statements—are analyzed to assess installed feed capacity, production efficiency, distribution networks, and species specialization. Trade statistics, Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MARD) datasets, and World Bank/IMF economic indicators are integrated to ensure triangulated insights. This desk research establishes the foundation for market size estimation, segmentation, and competitive landscape profiling.
Step 3: Primary Research
In-depth interviews are conducted with C-level executives, operations managers, technical experts, distributors, and aquaculture farmers across the Vietnam aquafeed market. These interviews validate market hypotheses, authenticate statistical data, and generate critical insights into pricing, feed conversion ratios (FCR), ingredient procurement strategies, and adoption of functional feeds. A bottom-up approach evaluates revenue and volume contributions of each key player, which is then aggregated into the overall market model. As part of the validation strategy, disguised interviews are carried out—approaching companies under the guise of potential clients—to cross-check financials and operational claims against secondary research. This provides a deeper understanding of company processes, value chains, and farmer engagement practices.
Step 4: Sanity Check
A comprehensive sanity check is performed by integrating both bottom-up and top-down models. Bottom-up calculations use farm-level feed usage intensity (kg feed per kg biomass) and aquaculture output data, while top-down analysis references aggregate feed production and import statistics. These models are reconciled to ensure consistency and eliminate data discrepancies. Sensitivity tests are applied using scenarios such as raw material shocks, disease outbreaks, and regulatory changes. This step ensures that the final market size, growth trajectory, and segment-level breakdowns are both realistic and validated across multiple independent sources.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 What is the potential for the Vietnam Aquafeed Market?
The Vietnam Aquafeed Market is poised for substantial expansion, reaching a valuation of USD 345.1 million in 2024. This potential is driven by Vietnam’s status as one of the world’s top aquaculture producers, supported by high volumes of shrimp and pangasius farming. The market’s capacity is further reinforced by strong seafood exports, which exceeded USD 9 billion in 2023 (Vietnam Customs), creating continuous demand for industrial aquafeed. With intensification of farming systems and a transition from farm-made to commercial feed, the market is well positioned for long-term growth.
02 Who are the Key Players in the Vietnam Aquafeed Market?
The Vietnam Aquafeed Market features several major players, including Cargill Vietnam, Skretting (Nutreco), CP Vietnam, De Heus, and Grobest. These companies dominate through large feed mill capacity, robust distribution networks, and strong technical support to farmers. Other notable players include GreenFeed Vietnam, Uni-President Vietnam, Biomin Vietnam, INVE Aquaculture, and Alltech Inc., as well as regional Vietnamese firms such as Viet Thang Feed JSC (VTF), Quang Ninh Fishery Feed JSC, and Vinh Hoan Feed. Together, these players shape the competitive landscape with a mix of multinational expertise and local specialization.
03 What are the Growth Drivers for the Vietnam Aquafeed Market?
The primary growth drivers include Vietnam’s strong aquaculture base, producing more than 5.1 million metric tons of aquatic animals (World Bank), which requires large volumes of feed. Rising seafood exports valued at USD 9 billion in 2023 (Vietnam Customs) further fuel feed demand, especially for pangasius and shrimp farms targeting international markets. Another driver is the country’s macroeconomic strength, with GDP standing at USD 459.4 billion in 2023 (IMF), enabling investments in modern farming and feed technologies. These structural conditions are pushing farmers toward higher-quality, certified feed to improve efficiency and meet export standards.
04 What are the Challenges in the Vietnam Aquafeed Market?
The Vietnam Aquafeed Market faces several challenges, particularly environmental stress and climate risks in farming hubs. For example, the Mekong Delta experiences 1.8 million hectares of saline intrusion annually (World Bank), threatening feed efficiency and farm survival rates. Heavy reliance on imported oilseeds—over 2 million tons of soybeans imported in the current marketing year (USDA)—creates vulnerability to global supply disruptions. Additionally, logistics inefficiencies across agricultural supply chains, documented by the World Bank, increase distribution costs and reduce last-mile feed access for farmers. These challenges collectively pose risks to consistent feed adoption and farm profitability.
