BAF Vietnam officially signed a joint venture agreement with Muyuan Food Group to develop and operate a high-tech, multi-story pig farming project in Tay Ninh Province.

According to the announced details, the joint venture will construct a multi-story integrated pig farming complex with an on-site feed mill. The project is designed to accommodate 64,000 breeding sows, producing 1.6 million market pigs annually.

The accompanying feed mill has a capacity of 600,000 tons per year. The joint venture anticipates an annual revenue of approximately 10 trillion VND once the project is fully operational. Legally, the project received investment approval from the Tay Ninh Provincial People’s Committee in June 2025 and government authorization in August 2025.

The core of the project lies in the application of Muyuan’s latest 5th-generation technology solutions. The facility is designed as an independent “biosafety island” with 5 floors, each operating independently to prevent cross-contamination. The 4-layer air filtration system achieves a 99.9% sterilization rate, effectively blocking dangerous viruses, including African Swine Fever (ASF).

Operations within the facility are nearly fully automated. Notably, the AI system can perform “sound-based disease diagnosis”, continuously analyzing farm sounds like pig coughing to provide early warnings of abnormalities. Additionally, smart inspection robots operate 24/7 to collect and analyze 17 health indicators of the pig herd.

The feeding system is also controlled by smart technology, preparing balanced meals based on each pig’s age and weight daily. Integrating the farm with an on-site feed mill reduces logistics costs and transportation losses.

This model is expected to address land and labor efficiency challenges. The “pig apartment” optimizes land use by 5 to 8 times and reduces labor needs by 20-30% compared to traditional farming. For instance, producing 100,000 pigs annually requires only 6.7 hectares and 95 workers.

Ms. Bui Huong Giang, CEO of BAF Vietnam, stated the project will contribute to modernizing and stabilizing the livestock supply chain. Mr. Gao Tong, CFO of Muyuan Group, emphasized the project will deliver cleaner, safer meat products while promoting sustainable development in Vietnam’s livestock industry.

The first batch of market pigs is expected by late 2027, marking a technological leap for BAF and potentially setting a new investment trend in the industry.

This initiative comes amid challenges in Vietnam’s pig farming sector, where small-scale operations dominate, hindering biosecurity and disease control, especially against ASF. Supply fluctuations due to outbreaks cause unpredictable pork price cycles.

If the Tay Ninh joint venture proves economically and biosecurely effective, a nationwide investment wave in “pig apartments” is foreseeable, sparking a new race in technology and scale within the livestock sector.
