In specific, Haidang Farm Cluster is located in Tan Chau district (Tay Ninh Province) with an area of 66 hectares, being the largest farm cluster of BAF at the current time. The cluster consists of 3 small farm complexes, with a capacity of 5,000 sows and 60,000 market hogs, which are put into operation after meeting many requirements from both BAF and its strategic partner, International Finance Corporation (IFC).

According to information from BAF, Haidang Farm Cluster applies modern bunker barn technologies with imported equipments, automatic management systems and wastewater treatment systems from Europe and America. For example, the manure will be processed by the scrapper system, then transferred to the compost towers. At this stage, biological technology is applied to treat waste, create irrigation water, and produce organic fertilizer for rice (another product of Tan Long Group, the parent company of BAF), contributing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and helping Vietnam achieve its net zero emissions goal by 2050.
The investment cost for Haidang Farm Cluster is about 600 billion VND, which is 10% lower than investing in 3 separate farms thanks to cost savings in many items (infrastructure, living areas, etc.).
Also on March 12, BAF inaugurated the high-tech pig farming farm Tan Chau (Tan Chau farm) in Tan Chau district, Tay Ninh province. This farm has an investment cost of 220 billion VND, an area of over 12 ha, and a capacity of 30,000 market hogs, invested according to green farm standards.
Similar to Haidang Cluster, Tan Chau farm also applies isolation measures to minimize contact between humans and animals, along with wastewater and waste treatment systems that meet the standards of the Ministry of Natural Resources & Environment and the Ministry of Health.
At the moment, the company owns a system of 28 sow and market hog farms nationwide, with a total herd of nearly 400,000 animals, producing nearly 1 million market hogs per year. In the upcoming plan, the company aims to operate an additional 18 new farms in the 2024 – 2025 period.
Haidang Farm Cluster and Tan Chau farm are expected to contribute revenue and profit from the third quarter of 2024.
In the context of reduced pig supply due to the impact of African swine fever (ASF), the price of pigs has increased by 55,000 VND to 62,000 VND/kg since after the Lunar New Year, which is considered favorable for livestock businesses this year.
