]]> The SAP S/4HANA Cloud-based Comprehensive Digital Transformation of Management Project was formally announced and inked by BAF Vietnam Agriculture JSC and Citek Technology JSC on March 11th, 2024.

The importance of digital transformation has grown beyond the realm of technology companies and into every sector and industry that is moving towards integration. For large corporations with national footprint such as BAF, finding an optimal solution to streamline production and revamp corporate governance is a formidable challenge that requires significant investments of time, human resources, finances, and unwavering commitment. This will also be a solid foundation for the company to swiftly adapt to global trends.

BAF, recognizing the significance of technology to enhance governance capacity in accordance with global standards, reached a consensus with Citek to implement the SAP S/4HANA Cloud-based comprehensive corporate governance system. This is a massive digital transformation endeavor in Vietnam’s livestock sector and the agriculture as a whole.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud is an all-inclusive governance solution enabling BAF’s digital transformation, access to and implementation of industry-specific standard operating procedures and best practices gleaned from major global corporations of the same industry. It is a corporate governance solution built upon SAP’s HANA in-memory database. The system delivers continuous innovation and facilitates seamless integration with other applications, enhancing the company’s performance and bolstering its competitiveness.

“Digital transformation with SAP enables us to accelerate into the next phase of growth in preparation for the scaled-up expansion of 100 farms, 11 animal feed mills, and 2 food factories by 2030, which will propel us to the top three largest livestock enterprises in Vietnam. This is also an integral aspect of formulating and shaping BAF’s corporate culture, which emphasizes adaptability to changes and a willingness and thorough preparation to embrace new opportunities“, Ms. Bui Huong Giang, CEO of BAF, spoke as the Head of the Project Steering Committee and expressed her confidence in Citek’s expertise and capability to assist BAF in honing its governance practices.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hong Viet, the Managing Director of SAP Vietnam, getting to operational stage with SAP S/4 HANA after 10 months of implementation will be no easy feat. Nevertheless, Citek and SAP are dedicated to assisting businesses to function effectively and providing continuous support, even after the platform has been successfully incorporated into the company business operations.

The Managing Director of SAP Vietnam discussed the digital transformation project during the signing ceremony on the morning of March 11th

During the kickoff ceremony, the Project Management Board representatives discussed the project’s high-level implementation plan and shared their experience with successfully projects. As per the target roadmap suggested by Citek, official operations are scheduled to begin in January 2025, following a 10-month implementation phase.

]]> BAF Vietnam Agricultural Joint Stock Company (Stock Code: BAF) has recently been achieved the Global Good Agricultural Practices – Integrated Farm Assurance Standard (GLOBAL G.A.P IFA version 5.2) certification.

Bureau Veritas representatives present the GlobalG.A.P IFA certification to BAF

The certification is awarded by Bureau Veritas (BV), an organization specialized in testing, inspection, and globally recognized certification. In this project, BAF also received advice and support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

Global G.A.P Standards for Pig Farming

 

Global G.A.P is a global organization to promote sustainable agriculture worldwide. Among them, the Global G.A.P Standards for pig farming version 5.2 have very strict criteria that must be adhered to.

To achieve certification, businesses must meet a minimum of 95% of the secondary requirement principles and comply with 100% of the main requirement principles.

Some important compliance criteria include maintaining identification and traceability of product origin from breeding to feed, ensuring biosecurity (disease control), factors affecting food safety (minimizing antibiotic use, avoiding prohibited substances), minimizing adverse environmental impacts, and meeting social welfare requirements for workers.

Particularly noteworthy are the criteria related to animal welfare to ensure that pigs are cared for in the most comfortable environment (housing conditions, farming environment, humane treatment of animals) to achieve the highest quality meat (among other factors).

The entire BAF pig herd exclusively utilizes a pelletized feed source developed and produced by the company. BAF’s pelletized feed formula eliminates all ingredients with potential risks of disease transmission from animal-derived sources, such as meat and bone meal, blood meal, and fish meal. Instead, it comprises plant-based proteins, supplemented with medicinal herbs and beneficial probiotics for the animals’ digestive system.

The infrastructure, pens, and farm conditions, including the ventilation, temperature control, and lighting systems designed for each type of pig, are transferred from major corporations in Europe and the United States. These systems are automated to minimize the risk of disease transmission.

With a network of 9 farms recognized to meet the Global G.A.P IFA version 5.2 standards, BAF Company has demonstrated the highest commitment from both leadership and all levels within the entire pig farming system. The company affirms its dedication to maintaining the recognized standards while continuously striving to build and implement Global G.A.P pig farming standards for the remaining farms. This aims to achieve the ultimate goal of providing clean and safe meat for consumer health.

Towards Circular Farming, Reducing Emissions

Environmental pollution from livestock activities is becoming increasingly serious. The estimated total waste from farming is 60 million tons annually, with liquid waste alone accounting for 302 million tons and emitting 18.5 million tons of CO2. Among these, pig farming contributes up to 84% of liquid waste. However, waste treatment still needs to be more effective.

This challenging issue compels businesses to align their farming practices with environmental protection if they aim to achieve greenhouse gas emission reduction goals and integrate farming according to international standards.

For BAF, the company has implemented a manure scraping system to alleviate the pressure on wastewater treatment. The collected pig manure is reused as organic microbial fertilizer, benefiting rice fields. This helps reduce methane emissions in pig farming, enhances soil quality, increases crop productivity, and creates a source of clean agricultural products. Consequently, this moves towards a circular economy model with no waste.

The manure composting tower system which installed in BAF’s pig farming operation is designed to convert livestock waste into compost, serving as a high-value fertilizer for rice fields.

The wastewater treatment system meets Class A water quality standards and is reused within the farming system.

Additionally, BAF is at the forefront of using pelletized feed for the entire BAF pig herd and affiliated herds. Plant-based protein in the livestock feed also helps reduce methane emissions, one of the main contributors to the greenhouse effect. Improved digestion in animals leads to a 5-10% reduction in feed consumption per unit of growth, and a significant 80% reduction in foul-smelling waste.

]]> Mr. Truong Sy Ba, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BAF Vietnam Agriculture Joint Stock Company (HOSE: BAF), believes that African Swine Fever (ASF) poses a significant challenge to Vietnam’s livestock industry but also represents a favorable opportunity for well-invested and well-controlled enterprises.

Disease Challenge Puts Smallholders in Deep Trouble

In assessing the overall situation, Chairman Truong Sy Ba noted that the total pig population in Vietnam is large, around 25-26 million pigs, supplying approximately 45 million pigs to the market each year. Meanwhile, Vietnamese people consume up to 70% of their dietary protein from pork.

African Swine Fever (ASF) has been present in Vietnam since 2019, according to Mr. Ba, posing a significant challenge, especially for small-scale livestock farmers. This observation is based on the reality that small-scale farming groups’ biosecurity and disease control conditions are weaker, leading to substantial negative impacts and even being perceived as “deep trouble.”

Nevertheless, opportunities still exist within adversity, particularly for the industrial livestock farming sector amidst the challenges.

Chairman of the “Vegetarian Pig” brand shares that, before the ASF outbreak, small-scale livestock accounted for the majority of the market, up to 80% of Vietnam’s total pig population. However, when the disease emerged, the market share of small-scale farming decreased to below 60%. This presents an opportunity for the industrial pig farming sector, which receives more systematic investment and better management control.

“Nobody wants the ASF outbreak, but when it happens, it is both a significant challenge for Vietnam’s livestock industry and an opportunity for businesses that have comprehensive and systematic investments in farms with good biosecurity management,” quotes the Chairman of BAF.

“In the next 10 years, small-scale live stock will continue to decrease, from 30% to 40%. This is a very fertile ground, an opportunity for industrial pig farming to develop and secure consumer food security,” said by Mr.Truong Sy Ba.

He believes the Vietnamese livestock industry must acknowledge and “coexist with the disease.” According to him, there is still no perfect vaccine – a type that has been confirmed and proven effective for pig herds – even though ASF has been present worldwide for over 100 years. Coexistence is necessary until a vaccine is developed to solve the problem.

“From small-scale to industrial pig farming, everyone must focus on managing disease safety, especially biosecurity, to protect their pig herds. It is due to the spirit of ‘coexistence’ that everyone is trying to control the situation.”

“However, this process is more controlled in industrial pig farming, while small-scale farming is heavily affected and not well-controlled. In the future, small-scale farming will gradually decrease, making room for industrial farming,” Mr. Sy Ba concludes.

In addition, the disease situation has become more complex since 2019 due to unpredictable strains of the virus. In this context, the industrial farming group will have an additional advantage due to higher control standards.

“Some pigs do not show disease symptoms, but they die within 3-5 days. It’s very difficult to detect and gets more complicated over time. The awareness of biosecurity among the public and businesses has increased, so the outbreak has reduced compared to 2019. However, it cannot be said that the outbreak has been fully controlled, and there are still many hidden risks.”

“I believe that modern farming is more affected by climate change because of investments in cool and enclosed pens, with temperature control systems through fans, ensuring a stable microclimate for the pig herd,” said Mr. Ba.

Is the price pressure from imported and smuggled pigs negligible?

Diseases cause price pressure on the livestock industry as there is an influx of disease-avoiding pigs from farmers into the market. In fact, the price of live pigs has sharply declined over the past few months from the peak above 60,000 VND/kg recorded in July 2023.

In addition to pressure from the disease, the influx of smuggled pigs through border gates into Vietnam is believed to be a reason for the decline in the domestic pig price. However, Mr. Ba thinks that this is not the main reason.

“The root cause is deep, stemming from the overall decrease in economic demand. Another reason is the supply, mainly still from domestic sources. This source has increased significantly as farmers sell pigs due to the disease. Although smuggled pigs have an impact, they are not the main cause. Recently, the Prime Minister issued a directive to tighten control on this issue at border gates. I think this situation will improve in the future,” according to Mr. Ba.

Similarly, Mr. Ba has a relatively positive view on the impact of imported frozen pork. This source accounts for about 2.1% of the total meat production in the country for the first ten months of 2023, according to data from the General Department of Customs. The reason is that the consumption habits of the Vietnamese people still prefer “hot meat, fresh meat,” so this segment is not affected.

Moreover, the 2% proportion is insufficient to regulate market prices; it would have to be around 50% – a level that Chairman Ba is confident Vietnam will not reach regarding pork imports.

“This source (imported meat) does not have much impact. The nature of imported meat accounts for only about 2%, mainly frozen meat. It is only suitable for the market segments of collective kitchens, restaurants, hotels, and tourist areas. Our people still go to the market to buy hot and fresh meat, as frozen meat is not as tasty,” he states.

 “However, this market segment cannot be hindered when integrating internationally, and we still have to accept it. Because foreign frozen meat is very cheap, when it comes to Vietnam, it also affects the collective kitchen market (Horeca market). As for the hot meat market, in my opinion, it will not be affected,” Mr. Ba said.

Supply is not too abundant; pig price may increase to 55,000 VND/kg after Tet

Regarding the supply and price of pork in the short term, Mr. Ba said that with a total pig herd of 27 million in the country (producing 45-50 million pork/year on the market) along with other foods, it is Ensuring supply during the upcoming Tet holidays, when consumer demand increases.

However, he believes that pig prices will increase at the end of the year because risks from ASF make the supply less abundant.

However, he believes that pig prices will increase at the end of the year because risks from ASF make the supply less abundant.

 “The total population statistics in Vietnam are not clear, but fully meet the needs of Tet when consumption increases. However, there are still challenges and risks from ASF reducing supply. Meanwhile, demand for pigs during Tet will increase by 10% – 20%. Therefore, although the supply is sufficient, it is not too abundant, which will cause pork prices to increase at the end of the year,” Mr. Ba shared.

As for pork prices, BAF Chairman said the current price is at the bottom. However, the impact on industrial livestock farming is actually not too great.

“This price range is the bottom, it must be understood that if this level is breached, it will be a loss. For small-scale livestock farming, which depends entirely on the purchase of breeds and feed, if the biosecurity of herd protection is not good, it is very risky. This price for them is approaching the cost price; even for farmers who do not control their herds well, they are at a loss.”

 “The story of industrial pig farming is different. The price of input materials accounts for 65%-70% of the animal feed of this group. Recently, the price of raw materials has decreased by 15% – 30%, thereby pulling the cost of industrial livestock farming down.”

“At BAF, the cost price is only about 40,000 VND/kg. At this price, it will be profitable if the herd is well-protected and free from ASF or other diseases. BAF is the best disease control company in the Vietnamese livestock industry, the disease rate in the total herd is very small and insignificant. In general, livestock enterprises with good control.

 “We also hope prices will continue to increase at the end of the year, and after the Lunar New Year. In my opinion, the price of live pigs during Tet will increase from 48,000 – 51,000 VND/kg to 53,000 – 55,000 VND/kg after Tet.”

BAF Vietnam Agricultural Joint Stock Company (BAF) was founded in April 2017. As a member of Tan Long Group, BAF is known for its high-quality swine breeding and pork products for a high-quality pork market that is food safety qualified.

From the very first day of establishment, BAF’s business orientation has always followed the 3F model (Feed-Farm-Food). We specialized in the self-contained business model producing and supplying breeding stock and pork products to the market; producing animal feed; building a modern European-standard farm chain; distributing breeding stock, and high-quality meat to the market. With the ambition to reach the Top 3 Vietnamese companies regarding swine breeding from Great Grand Parents (GGP), Grand Parents (GP), and Parents Stock (PS), BAF is striving continuously to be one of the top swine breeding and pork suppliers in Vietnam market.

The target is to have 100,000 PS sows, 2400 GGP sows, and 8,700 GP sows by 2023; and 261,900 PS sows, 2,400 GGP, 10,000 GP herds by 2030.

To achieve this ambitious goal, the Board of Directors aims to focus on 5 comprehensive criteria:

  1. Genetics Improvement – breakthrough technology
  2. Right people – right management model – right control
  3. The most modern technology design and build
  4. Right optimal nutrition feed
  5. Top biosecurity in production

When it comes to husbandry technology, factory, and biosafety, we have cooperated with leading animal husbandry technology groups in America and Europe, receiving the modern and advance technology transfer, assuring operational optimization and automation compatibility. These modern farm technologies, water treatment, and closed-wastewater treatment, altogether bringing green values for the environment.

As with human resources, we proactively link with universities and colleges nationwide, have a leading reputation in training human resources in husbandry techniques and veterinary medicine. We collaborate with Nong Lam University in Ho Chi Minh City, Hue University of Agriculture and Forestry, Thanh Hoa Agriculture and Forestry College, Hong Duc University, etc. We implement training together with the school, building a program consistent with the development orientation, and commit to employment output for Universities. Therefore, BAF always has professionally trained staff, working alternately at the farms.

Regarding capital, with the support from Tan Long Group, our annual sales reach up to billions of USD in 2018. Tan Long Group was honored to be named in the top 13th of Biggest Private Companies in Vietnam. We are also partners of large banks and have always been proactive in the external capital approach.

When it comes to nutrition-feed, with the experience of the number 1 feed material suppliers in Vietnam, we are the leaders in the industry to advise on nutrition, formula, and quality of food sources. We are proactive and we ensure the output quality in accordance with production criteria – no banned substances and no growth hormone.

Out of the criteria above, Breed Strategy is what makes us concern the most. The herd increase productivity depends on three factors: good breeds, good nutrition, and good management. Whether or not a business exists depends mainly on product innovation. Connecting research with technology investment is a prerequisite step to survive and develop.

With these business orientations, BAF trust to choose Genesus Inc. as a strategic partner for supplying purebred breeders. Genesus Inc. (Canada) is the Company with the largest independent registered purebred swine herd in the world that consistently year on year registers over 80% of the total number of purebreds registered in Canada.

With our competence and experience, we believe in our commitment to provide 100% certified Yorkshire x Landrace F1 breeding females to help our customers increase the value of their business by using Genesus – world’s largest independent producer of high health registered purebred swine in the world 

Besides, the highly prolific Genesus purebred is also one of the most suitable breeds for breeding conditions in Vietnam with the advantages of quick adaption to the Vietnamese climate, beautiful appearance, high appetite, producing healthy offspring with a fast weight gain.

Given the above reasons, BAF Company is honored and happy to have the opportunity to become a strategic partner with Genesus Inc., especially exclusively for the local production and sales in Vietnam and Myanmar. We believe that the cooperation will be the foundation for BAF to have the best breeds at all levels from Nucleus (GGP), Multiplication (GP), and Commercial (PS) to produce a consistently high-quality Pork to be sold in the market. From there, we can proceed to create high-quality breeds and significantly improve the productivity to increase the pig herd to actively supply the market.

Currently, we are taking advantage of all resources and strengths available in the business ecosystem of the whole Tan Long Group to develop the FEED-FARM-FOOD Livestock Model in the direction of sustainable development.

  • Accordingly, BAF Company will proactively produce and provide animal feed on all farms;
  • Farm development under the model of Village Farm with an area of hundreds of hectares, applying technology in the process of breeding and post-waste treatment to serve the farming fields;
  • Building a plant to slaughter and process pork with clear origin to consumers.

Proactively in the market supply of parent breeding stock, expanding the number of commercial herds, and above all, bringing the best quality products to Vietnamese consumers, BAF is confident to obtain all of these goals, with Genesus – the leading swine genetics supplier partner in the world.
