This is the first time that
Vietnamese and Japanese firms have worked together to raise the Japanese cow
species. Accordingly, the cattle will be raised in Huy Long An’s farms in
accordance with a strict process under the supervision of Japanese experts,
ensuring that the beef quality will meet criteria of Japan’s market.
Vo Quang Huy, Director of the Huy

across the country with a capacity to raise about 30,000 cows simultaneously.
The company has the policy to seek reliable business partners and advanced
breeding technologies to produce high quality and safe beef.
The beef is intended for both the
domestic market and export to Japan.
Each qualified Wagyu cow could be valued at about USD 40,000.
At the signing ceremony, Director of
the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Van Hoang
stated that the province has launched a project to develop agriculture with
high technology, including hi-tech cow-breeding.
