The Vietnam aquafeed market is driven by expanding aquaculture production, rising shrimp and pangasius export demand, government aquaculture development programmes, functional feed additive adoption, and product innovation from domestic and international aquafeed manufacturers.
Skretting, the aquafeed brand of Nutreco N.V., launched the next generation of its flagship shrimp feeds Lorica and Optiline in October 2025. The new formulations include the novel EDGEOS PhytoComplexes, a functional ingredient system developed by Nutreco Exploration, designed to enhance shrimp health, improve disease resistance, and support feed conversion efficiency.
De Heus Animal Nutrition opened a new shrimp feed mill in the Co Chien Industrial Zone, Vinh Long province, in March 2025. The new facility expands international aquafeed manufacturing capacity in Vietnam's key aquaculture region, strengthening De Heus as a leading shrimp aquafeed producer in the Mekong Delta.
De Heus Animal Nutrition inaugurated a new marine research and development facility at the Vinh Long Aqua Research and Development Center in Vietnam in August 2024. The facility enhances De Heus's global expertise in aqua farming, benefiting shrimp and marine fish customers through advanced nutrition research and species-specific aquafeed formulation.
The Vietnamese government issued Decree 38/2024 in May 2024, establishing comprehensive administrative penalties for aquafeed violations including fines of up to VND 50 million for unauthorized ingredients and mandatory product recalls for non-compliant formulations. Decree 38/2024 reinforces Vietnam's commitment to aquafeed quality standards, incentivising manufacturers to invest in quality control.
Shrimps are the dominant Vietnam aquafeed end-use segment, driven by Vietnam's position as one of the world's leading shrimp exporters with a government target of over 1.15 million metric tonnes of shrimp output and USD 10 billion in shrimp export revenue. Key producers including Skretting (Nutreco N.V.), De Heus Animal Nutrition, and Charoen Pokphand Foods PCL operate shrimp feed mills in Vietnam's Mekong Delta.
Additives are the fastest-growing Vietnam aquafeed ingredient segment through the growing adoption of functional feed additives including amino acids, probiotics, vitamins, and feed acidifiers. Strict EU and United States import inspections and Vietnam's ASC and BAP certification requirements are accelerating adoption of certified functional additives across Vietnam's shrimp, pangasius, and marine fish sectors.
Pellets are the dominant Vietnam aquafeed product form, reflecting the widespread use of sinking and floating pelleted feeds across Vietnam's freshwater and marine aquaculture operations. Extruded aquafeed is the fastest-growing product form through enhanced buoyancy, water stability, and nutrient absorption. Skretting Vietnam's Lotus II factory, which commenced operations in November 2022 with 100,000-tonne annual capacity, improves nutritional uniformity through ultra-fine grinding.
Catfish (pangasius) is a key Vietnam aquafeed end-use segment, driven by Vietnam's position as the world's leading pangasius exporter. Vietnam targets 100% domestic supply of pangasius broodstock by 2030 under the National Program on Aquaculture Development 2021-2030. An Giang, Dong Thap, and Can Tho provinces dominate Vietnam's pangasius catfish farming.
