THANH BÌNH |

Dien Bien - With advantages in land fund, Dien Bien and Lai Chau are becoming attractive destinations in the livestock sector.

Dien Bien accelerates a series of projects

Recently, Dien Bien province has continuously received many large enterprises pouring capital into closed agricultural and livestock complexes. On June 10, in Muong Pon commune, the high-tech pig farm project with a total investment of about 120 billion VND officially started construction.

The project is invested by Lai Chau Agricultural Development and Construction Investment Co., Ltd. with a scale of more than 10.5 hectares. It is expected that by December 2026, the first batch of pigs will be put into farming, supplying about 8,000 commercial pigs per year to the market.

Notably, this project applies high standards from US breeds to closed farming processes, promising to create regular jobs for 62-75 local workers with an income of 13-17 million VND/month.

Previously, at the beginning of 2026, Tuan Giao High-Tech Livestock and Agriculture Joint Stock Company (linked with CP Vietnam Livestock Joint Stock Company) prepared to implement a high-tech livestock and agricultural project in Tuan Giao commune.

The project has a total estimated investment of 300 billion VND on a scale of 50 hectares, which will create stable livelihoods for about 200 workers.

In particular, Dien Bien is facing the opportunity to receive the "super project" High-tech Livestock and Processing Complex in Chieng Sinh commune proposed by Mavin Group.

This complex is expected to have 200-250 hectares of land with a capital of 400-450 billion VND, including items: Animal feed factory 36,000 tons/year; agricultural product processing factory (corn, cassava) 50,000 tons/year; organic fertilizer factory 1,000 tons/year; pig breeding center with a scale of 9,600 sows, providing 160,000 piglets/year.

When put into operation, the project is expected to contribute about 80 billion VND/year to the state budget. Creating jobs for about 300 direct workers and thousands of jobs at outsourcing farms.

Lai Chau plans thousands of hectares of livestock land

Lai Chau province currently has more than 370,000 livestock and the total poultry herd reaches 1,899,000 heads. However, the household model still accounts for a large proportion when holding up to 91% of the total livestock herd and 98% of the total poultry herd.

To prepare conditions to welcome investors, according to the provincial plan for the period 2021-2030, 26 communes and wards are allocated concentrated livestock land with a total area of 1,238 ha.

However, through actual review, localities have registered development needs of up to 2,574 hectares at 37 locations in 10 communes and wards. These areas have concentrated land funds, favorable infrastructure and transportation conditions, suitable for forming large-scale commodity livestock areas associated with product processing and consumption.

Along with expanding the land fund, the province is attracting investment projects in the livestock sector. Currently, 13 projects have been approved for investment, including 11 livestock projects and 2 animal feed production projects.

Among them, 3 projects have been put into operation with a scale of 14,600 pigs/batch; 8 projects are being implemented with a scale of more than 70,000 fattening pigs and 7,200 sows; at the same time, 8 businesses are surveying and proposing 9 new projects.

To attract businesses to invest, Lai Chau proposes to build a specific support mechanism for large-scale cattle, pig, and chicken farming projects such as: Supporting land recovery costs, compensation for site clearance for projects with an area of over 100 hectares; supporting infrastructure investment in project fences; supporting digital transformation in animal husbandry...

Hundreds of billions of VND worth of projects are expected to soon turn Dien Bien and Lai Chau into the nuclei of high-tech agricultural development in the Northwest region.
