Until 2021, CJ Korea Group has been operating and developing in Vietnam in manufacturing livestock - poultry - aquaculture feeds, operating cattle – poultry - aquaculture farms, and distributing clean meat across the country through the company named CJ Vina Agri.
Although 20 years is not too long, it is enough for us to position our name and affirm our value through the quality of each product. With our aspiration, we have developed from a new brand with only one factory located in Long An province and less than 100 employees to a leading animal feed company in Vietnam. After operating for more than 20 years, CJ Vina Agri has completed the 3F closed value chain (covering Feed - Farm – Food). Besides, the company has been the second largest business by revenue in the feed and farming industry in Vietnam.
Since 2001, CJ Vina Agri has expanded its scale to 7 feed manufacturing factories located throughout Vietnam with a capacity of more than 1 million tons/year. The factories in Hung Yen province and Ha Nam provinces supply products to the Northern region; the factory in Binh Dinh province supplies products to the central region; the factories in Long An province, Dong Nai province, Vinh Long province, and Mekong Delta supply products to the Southern region.
In order to provide the best animal feed products for the market, the production factories use modern machines and high technology that ensure quality, meet safety standards, and obtain ISO9001, Global GAP, and HACCP certifications.
CJ Vina Agri has more than 800 outsourcing farms in cooperation with farmers across the country with a total scale of up to 1 million pigs and 1 million chickens. The farms are equipped with modern equipment, safe and hygienic breeding environments, and experts focusing on closely managing the health of the pigs. The team in charge of raising animals must go through a thorough disinfection process before entering their work areas.
Along with production and business activities, CJ Vina Agri always focuses on environmental protection, training human resources towards sustainable development by organizing specialized councils such as the Safety - Health - Environment Council (HSE), developing staff training programs, and researching and applying many scientific and technological solutions for handling farming environment.
CJ Vina Agri conducted successful research to come up with the pig raising process named "180 + 1 Perfect Days" and officially launched a high-end clean meat retail chain with MeatMaster and Pork Shop brands at the end of 2020. To ensure the standard quality of the direct supply of pork to customers, the pigs after undergoing a 180-day breeding process will be transported to a state-licensed slaughterhouse.
For many years, CJ Vina Agri has well performed its social responsibility by conducting a number of activities such as creating the “Light Up The Dreams” Fund to support poor studious students to continue their education, making donations to people in the Central region suffering from severe floods, providing disadvantaged people across the country with funding for running their businesses and improving their lives, organizing medical examination and treatment for people in disadvantaged areas. In particular, in 2021, we donated to the Government's Fund for Covid-19 Prevention.
Ladies and gentlemen, CJ Vina Agri’s journey lasting 20 years with many challenges and achievements has reflected the right development strategy of CJ Group aligned with the development aspirations and needs of the Vietnamese Government. With the mission of "Bringing the best nutrition for the world", the company will make more efforts to bring clean meat products of the best quality for consumers, contributing to the development of the animal husbandry industry, and contributing to bringing health, joy, and convenience for the Vietnamese community.
Once again, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to our customers, partners, and distributors for constantly accompanying, supporting, and cooperating with CJ Vina Agri for mutual development so far.
Best regards,
General Director
