(vasep.com.vn)The Director General of Vinh Hoan Joint Stock Company said that the company’s most important product is frozen pangasius fillet in 2022. About 63% of the company’s revenues in 2022 come from selling products processed from farmer fish.
In 2023, the increasing proportion of the company’s revenues will come from VAT products (VAP), collagen and gelatin, rice and noodles, and salmon processing for the company’s Japanese Partner.
Speaking at the International Conference of the Pangasius Industry within the framework of Vietfish 2023, General Director Vinh Hoan said that when the market is not very bright, VAT products will be less affected and less vulnerable to supply and demand challenges.
Vinh Hoan’s business activities are more diverse. Vinh Hoan has Sa Giang, a company specializing in producing shrimp chips and vermicelli, dry pho, with profits increasing by 87% in 2022; Thanh Ngoc Agricultural Products Company specializes in producing and processing vegetables and fruits; Feed-One seafood factory; and a pangasius surimi factory.
Vinh Hoan not only produces breaded pangasius fillets but also combines many different products to create seafood and vegetable noodle dishes.
Vinh Hoan’s subsidiary, Vinh Phuoc has also succeeded in expanding into salmon processing for a company’s Japanese partner. With improved factories and space, Vinh Hoan started importing salmon for processing and export.
Vinh Hoan’s opportunities in the salmon market are being opened up thanks to changes after the COVID-19 epidemic and the US-China conflicts.
Vinh Hoan currently has a surimi processing factory shredded fish meat and a factory producing simulated crab sticks from pangasius surimi.
The "wellness" segment, specializing in producing and marketing collagen and gelatin products, has been operating since 2015, but the COVID-19 epidemic affected revenue. Currently, although this segment's revenue is still small, it is growing better than other products. The service industry is gradually recovering, and Vinh Hoan is creating a number of VAPs with these products.
Vinh Hoan will not focus on short-term investments related to the expanding pangasius farms due to market fluctuations and needs production and processing plans to suit market demand.
Vinh Hoan can produce from 150.000 tons to 180.000 tons of pangasius yearly. The company has six fish processing factories, operating at 70-80% and processing up to 100 tons of raw materials every day.
