DNHN - Before farmers could recover from the "storm" of the epidemic, the "storm" of inflation, knocked the farming family into a difficult situation. To restore and stabilize production in the post-Covid era, this fact has prompted people-families to exert mental effort to reduce costs reasonably.
What is the optimal solution for those who work in the profession of "maintenance" to remain adherent? The difference lies in those who actively reduce production costs, dare to think and dare to act; utilizing innovative thought processes to seize new development opportunities.

In stormy times, farming households face difficulties
For several days in a row, the price of aqua feed has skyrocketed, putting thousands of pangasius-raising households in the Mekong Delta on fire. Mr Tran Van An of the district of Hong Ngu in Dong Thap stated, "In Hong Ngu, people raise pangasius year-round as their primary source of income. However, pangasius prices have decreased over the past two years, causing many households to lose money. Now, the price of fish has increased to between 32,000 and 35,000 VND per kilogram, but the price of feed has also risen, creating an additional burden for farmers."

Mr Nguyen Van Tan, of the Chau Phu district in An Giang, expressed the same concern: "Currently, imported food for pangasius sold by agents costs between 18,000 and 21,000 VND per kilogram. extremely high cost. Consequently, the cost of fish farming rises to approximately 34,000 VND per kilogram, while the highest selling price of commercial fish is only 35,000 VND per kilogram. This causes continued hardship for numerous farmers."

Feed costs increased by 30 to 35 per cent, putting many aquaculture farmers in a difficult position. And the question arises, what is the solution to reduce losses in the context of the current difficult market?
Success gained through experience
Numerous prosperous farming households have acknowledged that there is no alternative to reducing costs. If the experience of farmers is "First to plough and crossbow, then to drop manure," then the experience of keepers is "first food, then good seed." Despite fluctuating market prices, farmers can be more proactive with their stockpiling plans if they have access to high-quality seeds and purchase food of the highest standard.
Mr Nguyen Thanh Hung, of the Lai Vung district in the province of Dong Thap, who has more than ten years of experience in the field, said, "To compete in today's fierce market, farmers must know how to reduce production costs, which is to choose the right food. eat and reproduce well. Regarding food, I choose Sao Mai Super Feed due to its extremely low FCR, which enables me to reduce expenses and generate a substantial profit. If you purchase food that is floating on the market, the coefficient is high, making it easy to lose money."

In addition, to reduce costs, many farming households choose to "buy low and sell high." They go to the food factory to sign a contract to purchase food directly, without the involvement of middlemen.

A representative of Sao Mai Super Feed Co., Ltd. stated, "To share difficulties with farming households, businesses sacrifice a portion of their profits, committing to bring products to market at competitive prices while ensuring quality, despite having to bear the rising cost of input materials."
Simultaneously, the company also implements numerous customer-friendly policies. Farmers can come to the factory and sign a contract to buy food directly, then the factory will deliver the food to the farming area, allowing customers to save money and increase their profits.
Sao Mai Super Feed is proud to be a new generation of aqua feed, established by a proprietary formula with the ideal combination of natural nutrients, including vitamins A, C, D, and K, essential amino acids, and yeasts. Specialized microorganisms derived from modern mixing techniques in Europe aid in enhancing digestion and boosting disease resistance in fish, resulting in rapid weight gain, a low FCR index, and feed savings of 10 to 30 per cent for farmers.
