Why Vietnam is emerging as a competitive source of peanut meal animal feed

Vietnam has emerged as one of the potential sources of peanut meal animal feed in recent years without much noise. Vietnamese peanut meal has large areas of peanut production, modern oil production plants, and has been able to compete with other world peanut meal producers and exporters in terms of export prices. With the current growing demand for cheap, high-protein feed resources, Vietnam is a dependable, low-cost provider that can deliver viable quality to the global production of poultry, livestock, and aquafeed.

Vietnam’s peanut meal animal feed industry overview

Vietnam is one of the most important producers of peanuts in Southeast Asia, with much of the cultivated land in provinces like Nghe An, Quang Nam, Binh Dinh, and Dong Nai. The majority of peanuts are refined into edible oil, and the remaining peanut cake (after oil extraction) is milled to peanut meal, which is a highly protein-rich product utilized in poultry, livestock, and aquafeed formulations.

During the last ten years, the industry of oilseed processing in Vietnam has been updated at a high pace, with the introduction of mechanical and solvent processing techniques to enhance the oil production and protein content. These plants obtain peanut meal animal feed that contains 40-50 percent of crude protein and balanced amino acids, which is similar to most imported protein sources.

Trade-wise, Vietnamese peanut meal is being exported more to the Asian-Pacific markets like China, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines, where the manufacturers of feeds are looking for alternative proteins to supplement the increased cost of soybean meal. Through the stable peanut supply chains, production throughout the year, and reasonable costs of labor and transportation, Vietnam may always provide good FOB prices without compromising the quality of its products, and use of COA records to verify every shipment.

Advantages of sourcing peanut meal animal feed from Vietnam

The peanut meal industry in Vietnam possesses very clear benefits that are making it more and more appealing to the world’s manufacturers and importers of feeds. Vietnam has another strength in terms of raw material availability, competitive prices, quality assurance, and effectiveness of exporting the raw material, other than the quality of proteins. These reasons make the country a good and cost-effective supplier of peanut meal in the global feed market.

Abundant raw material supply

Production of peanut meal animal feed in Vietnam is a year-round activity across a number of agro-climatic regions, which has guaranteed a raw materials supply to the industry all year round. Local farmers can produce several crops in a year, and hence, processors can sustain high production and steady export quantities.

Competitive FOB prices

Due to the proximity of farm land to processing facilities, and reduced labor and logistics expenses, Vietnamese peanut meal provides a considerable price leverage over other origins, e.g., India or Argentina. This renders it a good option among feed producers who aim at maximizing the formulation expenses without reducing the quality.

Reliable quality and COA guarantee

The Vietnamese processors are very strict about quality, as every shipment must be of the necessary and required protein content, moisture content, and aflatoxin content. Vietfeeds exporters offer a Certificate of Analysis (COA) per lot, and the buyer does not doubt the consistency of the product.

Strategic location and efficient logistics

Asia-Pacific (e.g., Quy Nhon, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City) Deep-water ports make shipments of peanut meal to Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa efficient, and over shorten transit and freight expenses.

Flexible packaging and customization

Vietnamese suppliers know the buyer requirements in the world markets- they not only give an option of a customized packaging (50 kg, jumbo bag, or container bulk loading), but also are able to blend or pelletize as per the specifications of the feed mill.
