Industry Overview
Aquaculture constitutes one of the key pillars of Vietnam's economy, encompassing the farming of shrimp, Basa catfish, tilapia, and various marine species. Vietnam has long ranked among the world's leading exporters of aquatic products, with export markets spanning the United States, the European Union, Japan, and others.
Vietnam's aquatic feed sector is primarily categorized into shrimp feed, fish feed (particularly Pangasius feed), and other specialized aquatic feeds. Fish feed places a greater emphasis on cost control and the stability of protein sources.
As aquaculture models transition from traditional extensive methods to high-density intensive systems, the Vietnamese aquaculture industry's reliance on high-quality compound feed is steadily increasing. This trend has significantly driven the growth in demand for aquaculture feed.
Vietnam's aquatic feed industry is highly concentrated, with some multinational feed groups possessing significant advantages in technology, brand, and capital. At the same time, local businesses are competitive in terms of channels, customer relationships, and regional coverage.
Aquaculture feed prices are significantly influenced by raw material costs (fish meal, soybean meal, and grains), international shipping rates, exchange rates, and market conditions within the aquaculture sector. When global prices for fish meal or soybean meal rise, the profit margins of feed manufacturers come under pressure.
Over the coming years, as the scale of Vietnam's aquaculture industry continues to expand and the volume of aquatic exports increases, market demand for aquatic feed is expected to maintain rapid growth.
Import Market Overview
Vietnam's imports of aquatic feed continue to expand rapidly.
According to CRI analysis, In recent years, Vietnam's aquaculture industry has experienced rapid growth, driving a rapid expansion in the demand for aquatic feed. Although domestic production capacity for aquatic feed is relatively well-developed, there remains significant demand for imports—particularly regarding high-end functional feeds, specialized compound aquatic feeds, and certain high-protein raw materials..
According to CRI statistics, approximately 320 buyers in Vietnam imported aquatic feed in 2024, totaling US$ 168 million, an increased of 36.3%. In 2025, Vietnam's total aquatic feed imports reached US$ 199 million, an increased of 18.8% compare to 2024.
China, Germany and Thailand are Vietnam's top three sources for aquatic feed imports.
According to CRI analysis, China, Germany and Thailand were the top three sources of Vietnam’s aquatic feed imports, accounting for approximately 44.9% , 14.8% and 9.6% of total imports respectively in 2025.
CRI predicts that with the upgrading of aquaculture technology, the improvement of export market standards, and the increasing demand for efficient and environmentally friendly feed, Vietnam's overall import volume of aquatic feed will maintain a growth trend.
Overview of Foreign Investment in Vietnam's Aquatic Feed Industry
Investment Background In Vietnam, aquaculture stands as one of the key pillars of the agricultural economy, with the farming of shrimp and Basa catfish conducted on a particularly massive scale.
The products are exported in large quantities to markets such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union. This export-oriented industrial structure necessitates aquaculture processes that are standardized, traceable, and highly efficient, thereby establishing industrialized aquatic feed as a critical input.
With increasing farming densities and technological upgrades, the demand for high-quality, functional aquatic feeds continues to grow, providing foreign-funded enterprises with a stable and long-term market foundation.
Investment Advantages
1. Political stability and rapid economic development. The Vietnamese government has strong governing capabilities, consistent policies, and a focus on economic development and improving people's livelihoods.
2. Relatively low labor costs.
3. Strategically located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, with a 3,260-kilometer coastline and numerous ports, transportation is convenient.
4. Relatively relaxed policies and regulations provide foreign investors with comprehensive legal protections and generous preferential policies.
5. Vietnam has a high level of openness to the outside world, with 19 free trade agreements signed or in progress. Investors can use platforms such as RCEP and the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area to explore a broader international market.
Investment Regulations
According to Vietnam's Investment Law and other regulations, the production and processing of animal feed in Vietnam do not fall under sectors restricted or prohibited to foreign investment. Foreign investors can establish wholly foreign-owned enterprises or joint ventures with local companies in accordance with the Investment Law and the Enterprise Law. However, companies must also obtain a feed production license issued by the agricultural authorities.
