A pig farm will be built on 1,000 hectares of land in the Nghi Son Economic Zone to raise five million hogs a year. A compound animal feed production plant with a capacity of two million tons a year, a slaughterhouse and a meat processing plant with a capacity of 0.6 million tons will also be built.

 

The project will be divided into three phases.

 

An AVG spokesperson said it would comply with Vietnamese environmental laws and regulations.
