The Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang plans to foster advanced technology applications to produce clean and high-quality poultry eggs in an attempt to boost exports.
The province currently houses about 1.5 million quails and one million black chickens, among other chicken varieties farmed under strict food security requirements to produce quality eggs for export.
One breeding farm, owned by Phan Van Tieu in Phu Kiet commune, Cho Gao district, has 4,000 black hens that can produce up to 1,200 eggs each day.
According to the Director of the Southern Centre for Policy and Strategy for Agricultural and Rural Development Nguyen Van Giap, their centre has provided breeding skill training for 60 local households. Of these, eight have been selected to farm between 1,000-2,000 black chickens for eggs as a trial, in order to examine export potential in Japan, Australia, and the Republic of Korea.
After a four-year effort to meet all requirements of the strict market, the Nguyen Ho quail breeding farm in Long An commune, Chau Thanh district has joined with the fruit export company Tien Giang Food Corp to export 12 million canned quail eggs to Japan since late 2013. With over 60,000 quails, the partnership is currently exporting 2 million canned quail eggs to Japan each month.
Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Khanh said there is a huge demand for canned quail eggs in Japan, and the Nguyen Ho farm is among the two local facilities that meet the Japanese partner’s strict requirements.-VNA
