HÀ NỘI - Việt Nam’s import value for animal feed and materials for producing animal feed stood at US$1.8 billion in the first half of 2017, a year-on-year increase of 17.3 per cent. Argentina remained the country’s leading source for animal feed and feed materials, the General Department of Customs said. Between January and June, Việt Nam also imported animal feed and materials from other markets such as the US, India, Indonesia, Italy and Austria. According to the department, the animal feed industry has to promote internal resources, use feed more effectively, control diseases and reduce costs to compete with imported products. Last year, Việt Nam spent $3.39 billion in animal feed and material imports, according the ministry’s statistics.
