The mill has an annual capacity of 60,000 metric tons of aquaculture feed, bringing the total production capacity of the company's Vietnam operations to 720,000 metric tons a year.

This is the company's sixth facility in Vietnam.

"This new investment demonstrates Cargill's commitment to serving Vietnamese livestock and aquaculture growers," said Stoney Su, Cargill-Vietnam general manager. "In these uncertain times, our customers are looking for reliability. Cargill will be part of their solution. The new Dong Thap plant will allow Cargill to more effectively deliver the best and latest feed technologies and services to our local dealers and aquaculture growers throughout the Mekong Delta."
