Do Cao Bang, General Director of GreenFeed Corporation, said the parties were building a database to implement their goals. The chain was expected to start in June this year. “The company has conducted a review and assessment of the conditions of animal feed factories, pig breeding facilities in Binh Thuan Province and organized training courses for officials and employees working directly in these farms,” said Bang.

GreenFeed has completed qualified slaughter and pork processing facilities according to HACCP, Global GAP and ISO 22000 certifications in accordance with OIE regulations.
