As Vietnam’s economy expands, the demand for safe and nutritious food has never been greater. Consumers increasingly expect food that is clean from farm to table, while also safeguarding the environment and preserving the unique qualities of local breeds that embody Vietnam’s rich culinary heritage.
Challenges in Vietnam’s Livestock Industry
The livestock sector continues to face significant challenges. African swine fever outbreaks, volatile market prices, and rising competition from imported meat have pressured farmers to adopt short-term, price-driven practices. This often leads to reduced focus on proper animal nutrition, resulting in lower productivity, higher feed consumption, and food safety risks such as antibiotic residues.
Gold Coin’s Commitment to a Sustainable Path
Gold Coin has consistently taken a different approach—prioritizing clean, sustainable food production as a long-term strategy. For many years, we have supported Vietnamese farmers in transitioning from small-scale, traditional operations to more professional, science-based models. Guided by our principle, “Livestock for community health – for the benefit of farmers”, we combine high-quality feed products with dedicated technical support to promote both farmer success and community well-being.
1. Elevating Livestock Standards
Modern livestock farming requires knowledge, planning, and strict adherence to food safety standards. Gold Coin continuously innovates nutritional solutions and upholds rigorous quality controls to meet evolving market demands. Recognizing Vietnam’s diversity of livestock breeds and farming conditions, our tailored feed solutions are designed to improve efficiency, strengthen animal health, and reinforce consumer trust in local products.
2. Expertise in Feed Formulation
Animal feed directly influences the health, productivity, and sustainability of livestock. Gold Coin applies advanced nutritional science to ensure that each formulation balances core requirements with supplemental elements such as enzymes, probiotics, and vitamins—helping animals grow stronger, reducing environmental impact, and enabling farmers to achieve higher returns.
3. Partnering with Farmers for Lasting Impact
For more than two decades, Gold Coin has been a trusted partner in Vietnam’s livestock industry. Central to this commitment is our “Safety from the Root” program, which emphasizes food safety from the very beginning of the production process. Through this program, our technical team provides training, consultation, and hands-on support to farmers—helping them implement biosecurity measures, optimize nutrition programs, and comply with veterinary standards.
Even small, consistent improvements—such as maintaining barn hygiene, ensuring clean water, and adjusting feed to seasonal conditions—deliver significant benefits. Many farmers have shortened production cycles, improved planning, and increased profitability through their participation in Safety from the Root.
This approach not only strengthens farming efficiency but also reinforces consumer trust, ensuring that Vietnamese families have access to safe, nutritious food.
Together, We Nourish the Future
Gold Coin Vietnam remains steadfast in its commitment to clean, sustainable livestock development. By working closely with farmers, we contribute to healthier communities and safer food for Vietnamese families—living out Aboitiz Foods’ brand promise: “Together, we Nourish the Future.”
