BAF partners with China’s Muyuan in high-tech livestock farming

The BAF Vietnam Agricultural Joint Stock Company has struck a partnership with China's leading livestock group Muyuan Foods Co. Ltd. on technology transfer and application of artificial intelligence throughout the livestock chain.

In his remarks at the partnership launching ceremony on October 16, Truong Sy Ba, Chairman of the Board of Directors at BAF, said that the cooperation between the two sides will help realise his company’s goal of becoming a leading livestock corporation in Vietnam by 2030. The partnership was a key step towards enhancing commercial value and brand recognition, not only in the domestic market but also worldwide.

He went on to say that it marks the beginning of a new journey for the future. The BAF aims not only to transfer farming and biosecurity technology, and environmental solutions but also to expand their cooperation into other areas, fostering modern and innovative growth of the livestock industry, Ba said.

The agreement covers the transfer of intelligent livestock technology. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, automation, digital transformation and AI in livestock farming is expected to enhance production efficiency, optimise resources and ensure biosecurity and environmental friendliness

In collaboration with Muyuan, BAF Vietnam aims to comprehensively improve its closed-loop system, from animal feed factories to livestock farming models.

Gao Tong, chief financial officer at the Muyuan Group, expressed confidence in supporting the BAF’s expansion target of 100 farms with 450,000 sows and 10 million pigs by 2030.

Through this partnership, the group hopes to provide Vietnamese consumers with clean, fresh and safe food while promoting the growth of the pig farming industry in Vietnam, he said./.
