PRESS RELEASE

VIETSTOCK 2023 EXHIBITION

Song Hong Ballroom, Sheraton Hotel

K5 Nghi Tam, 11 Xuan Dieu, Tay Ho, Ha Noi

Dear journalists, media and news partners,

Being a strategic industry and has a crucial potential for the advancement of the Vietnam’s agriculture sector, livestock industry has witnessed a stable growth in the recent years, accounting for more than one quarter (27%) of the sector’s GDP in the first half of 2023. In 2022, the livestock business in Vietnam has registered a significant growth, reaching revenue of 21 billion dollars, equivalent to a rise of 5% to 6% compared to 2021.

Vietnam's outstanding economic and social development in recent times has brought many new opportunities for the livestock industry. For instance, Vietnam has the 7th fastest growing middle class in the world, reaching 50 million people by 2030. Young population, rapid urbanization and increasing income in both urban and rural areas drive the positive change of domestic livestock industry and food production.

Additionally, Vietnam’s Free Trade Agreements are boosting the integration of the livestock’s products into the largest consumer’s markets in the world. With the increasing government support and technology advancement, Vietnam’s livestock market is expected to grow 4% to 5% per year by 2025 and 3% to 4% from 2026 to 2030.

However, the domestic livestock industry is currently facing two major challenges. Firstly, relying heavily on imported materials. In fact, the volume of imported materials for animal feed in Vietnam per year is approximate 22 million tons, equivalent to 60% of the whole industry’s demand. As a sign of weakness, this dependency has become worse when the world is going through an increasingly gloomy and uncertain outlook. Secondly, addressing climate change and diseases. Vietnam is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change in the world. Storms, typhoons, floods, and extreme weather frequently threaten livestock development. Since infectious diseases are the greatest trouble to livestock production, the safe area dedicated to farm animals is the key solution that the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam has promoted and designed to implement.  

VIETSTOCK exhibition is organized by the world's leading exhibition organizer - INFORMA MARKETS. VIETSTOCK is The Vietnam’s Premier International Feed, Livestock, Aquaculture & Meat Industry Show, part of the livestock exhibition series in Asia. With nearly 20 years of organization, Vietstock accompanies with the Department of Livestock Production (MARD) and Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and Livestock Production and Animal Health Sub-Department in 63 provinces, as well as the industrial organizations and associations such as: Animal Husbandry Association of Vietnam - AHAV, Vietnam Ruminant Husbandry Association - VINARUHA, Vietnam Poultry Association - VIPA, Vietnam Fisheries Society - VINAFIS, International Collaborating Centre For Aquaculture And Fisheries Sustainability - ICAFIS, Agricultural Extension center, etc.
