Supplier-neutral procurement

Shrimp feed suppliers in Vietnam

Tell us what you feed and we compare qualified shrimp feed manufacturers and importers serving Vietnam — local production, regional mills and export-ready suppliers shipping into Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai). Offers are benchmarked on specification and delivered cost, not on who pays us.

Also sourcing in Vietnam? We run the same supplier-neutral comparison for fish feed and pig feed, and you can see the wider picture on the Vietnam feed market page.

Aquafeed buyer questions

What should an aquafeed RFQ specify?

Species and farming system, life stage, pellet size and whether the feed must float or sink, crude protein and lipid targets, digestible energy, water stability in minutes, maximum fines, fish meal and fish oil inclusion or approved substitutes, and certification such as BAP, ASC or IFFO RS. Add water temperature and salinity — they change the formulation a supplier will offer.

What is the difference between floating and sinking fish feed commercially?

Floating feed is extruded, costs more per tonne because of the processing energy, and lets you observe intake and cut waste — normal for tilapia and catfish in ponds. Sinking feed is pelleted, cheaper per tonne, and required for shrimp and bottom-feeding species. Quote both only if your system can actually use both; otherwise offers are not comparable.

What water stability should I require in shrimp feed?

Shrimp feed is typically specified to hold integrity for two to three hours in water because shrimp feed slowly, while most fish feeds need far less. State the required stability window, the test method and the maximum acceptable fines on arrival. Stability is driven by binder choice and processing, and it materially affects both the price and the actual feed conversion you get.

Can aquafeed be quoted with reduced fish meal?

Yes. Suppliers routinely quote lower fish meal formulations using soy protein concentrate, poultry by-product meal where permitted, insect meal, single-cell protein or added synthetic amino acids. Fish meal is often the largest single cost line, so ask for a benchmark quote plus a reduced-marine-inclusion alternative, and compare them on cost per kilogram of gain, not price per tonne.

Add to an aquafeed RFQ

  • Species and system: tilapia, catfish, carp, salmon, sea bass or shrimp; pond, cage or RAS
  • Life stage and pellet size (crumble, 0.8–12 mm)
  • Floating (extruded) or sinking (pelleted) requirement
  • Crude protein, lipid and digestible energy targets
  • Water stability requirement in minutes, and maximum fines
  • Fish meal / fish oil inclusion or approved alternative protein sources

Buyer questions, answered

How do I find a bulk animal feed supplier?

Define species, production stage, feed type, monthly tonnage, packaging and delivery destination, then issue one structured RFQ to several qualified manufacturers rather than contacting them one by one. FeedMatch runs that comparison for commercial buyers: we match your specification against manufacturers with the right capacity, certifications and export routing, and return offers benchmarked on specification and delivered cost.

Can animal feed be custom formulated for my farm?

Yes. Custom formulation starts from your species, age or production stage, performance objective, locally available raw materials, nutrient targets and target cost per tonne. Suppliers can quote a like-for-like match to your current label plus a least-cost alternative built on ingredients available in your region. Existing formulations, feeding programmes and recent raw-material analyses all speed this up.

What information is needed to formulate feed?

Species and breed, age or production stage, target performance, current ration or label if one exists, available local raw materials, ingredients to avoid, required additives or medication status, energy and protein targets, pellet or mash presentation, climate, and target cost per tonne. Local feed regulations for the destination market also determine which additives and claims are permitted.

What affects the price of commercial animal feed?

Protein and energy level, ingredient mix, raw-material market prices, additive and premix content, formulation complexity, pellet quality, packaging, order volume, freight and destination, and any certification requirements. Bulk deliveries generally price below bagged feed per tonne. Prices move with commodity markets, so offers are usually valid for a defined window.

Can FeedMatch source feed ingredients separately?

Yes. Feed mills and integrators often buy raw materials rather than finished feed. We source protein meals, energy grains, fats and oils, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, binders and complete premixes, quoted per tonne on the incoterm you specify, with certificate of analysis and certification requirements stated in the RFQ.

What minimum information is needed for a feed RFQ?

Country and delivery destination, species and production stage, feed or ingredient type, order volume and monthly requirement, packaging, required certifications and timeline. Nutritional targets, current formulation and target price make the offers far more comparable, but an RFQ can be opened and refined once suppliers respond.

Commercial order formats

  • Bulk tanker or tipper loads for on-farm silo delivery
  • Bagged 25 / 50 kg and 1 t big-bags, palletised and shrink-wrapped
  • Full container loads (FCL) for export markets
  • Recurring monthly or quarterly supply contracts with agreed price mechanics
  • Raw materials and premixes delivered to your own feed mill
  • Custom formulation and contract / private-label production

Minimum order quantities depend on supplier, product type, packaging and destination.

What affects commercial feed price

  • Crude protein and metabolisable energy targets
  • Ingredient mix and raw-material market prices
  • Additive, premix and amino acid inclusion
  • Formulation complexity and pellet quality requirements
  • Packaging format and palletisation
  • Order volume and recurring commitment
  • Freight, incoterm and destination
  • Certification and documentation requirements

Information suppliers need to quote

The more of this you provide, the faster and more comparable the offers. Anything you cannot answer yet can be left open — suppliers will quote against assumptions and flag them.

  • Country and delivery destination
  • Species and breed
  • Production stage (starter / grower / finisher / laying / lactation)
  • Feed or ingredient type
  • Current formulation or label, if available
  • Nutritional targets (protein, energy, amino acids)
  • Desired ingredients and ingredients to avoid
  • Order volume and monthly requirement
  • Packaging and presentation (pellet, crumble, mash)
  • Target price per tonne, if you have one
  • Certifications required (GMP+, ISO, HACCP, halal, organic)
  • Timeline and first shipment date

FAQ

Who supplies shrimp feed in Vietnam?

Both domestic compound-feed mills and export-oriented manufacturers serve Vietnam. FeedMatch shortlists the suppliers that can actually meet your volume, specification and delivery window, then puts their offers side by side. We are supplier-neutral and do not rank by commission.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Bulk quotations typically start at one full truck (about 25–30 t) for inland supply and at one 20 ft or 40 ft container for imports into Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai). Bagged trial volumes from one pallet are possible with several manufacturers.

How is shrimp feed priced into Vietnam?

Pricing is quoted FOB origin or CFR/CIF Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai), in USD or VND, and moves with raw-material indices, freight and FX. Offers include specification, packaging, lead time and validity so you can compare like for like.

Can I get a custom formulation for my vannamei and monodon ponds?

Yes. Share your current label, target performance and locally available raw materials; suppliers can quote a like-for-like ration plus a least-cost alternative built around Southeast Asia ingredient availability.

Does FeedMatch sell the feed?

No. FeedMatch is a supplier-neutral sourcing platform. Specifications, pricing, certification documents and final commercial terms are confirmed directly by the selected manufacturer.

How fast will I receive offers?

First response within one business day; matched supplier offers for Vietnam typically arrive in 2–5 business days depending on the species and volume.
