Vietnam imports over 4,000 cows from Australia

Besides developing a 300-hectare of grazing pasture, the project is also working with local farmers to have some 1,000 hectares more to ensure enough foods for the cows.
When the production process was stabilized in October 2017, the project generated direct employment for 300 workers and provided livelihoods for more than 1,000 local people.
Soon after Phu Lam farm received the Exporter Supply Chain Assurance System certificate from the Australian Department of Agriculture, Australian partners signed agreements in principle with Phu Lam to supply high quality beef and provide the necessary guidance during the raising and veterinary processes.
