USSEC continues its dedicated support for Vietnam’s aquaculture sector by championing sustainability practices, showcasing In-Pond Raceway System (IPRS) technology, and promoting the use of U.S. Soy to ten feed mills and aquaculture farms in various provinces of Vietnam in January 2024.
Since its introduction in 2016, IPRS technology has garnered significant interest in Vietnam for its remarkable potential to enhance production efficiency while minimizing environmental impact and operational costs. Through collaborative efforts with USSEC Vietnam, several IPRS farms have been successfully established and operated across both Northern and Southern Vietnam.
The activities in Vietnam kicked off with the visit to Kinh Bac Aqua Feed Mill in Bac Ninh Province, where USSEC consultants shared invaluable industry insights and services. Subsequent visits to Vina Feed Mill in Ha Nam Province underscored the importance of sustainable feed ingredients, particularly U.S. Soy, in promoting aquaculture sustainability.
