De Heus and Hung Nhon invest in hi-tech pig, chicken farm in Dak Lak

The Agricultural High-tech Area DHN Dak Lak, which was invested with $66 million, is an important element and a core model of a closed production chain of high quality agricultural products including selection and production of breeding pigs, breeding chickens, automatic pig slaughter plant.

Beside, it produces animal feed, organic fertilizer and trades Vietnam's leading quality livestock products and aim to export to Southeast Asian market, statement said.

The high-tech agriculture complex which will be built on 200 hectares of land is expected to create jobs for 250-300 ethnic minorities in the province.

It will also help training qualified human resources on high-value feeding, organic farming based on modern technology, contributing to the overall economic development of the province. The project develops a modern animal feeding model to serve as a standard model for the Central Highlands Region, Southeast Region and other regions in Vietnam.
