Mang Yang has great potential for developing dairy farming.

In July 2018, Cao Nguyen Beef and Dairy Cattle Breeding Joint Stock Company implemented the “Beef and Dairy Cattle Breeding” Project (now known as NutiMilk Dairy Farm) with a total area of 620.74 hectares in Dak Ya Commune, Mang Yang District. Of which, the office and farm area is about 50 hectares, the rest is pasture land for cow feed. Currently, NutiMilk Farm has nearly 12,000 cows. This is one of the largest independent farm clusters in Vietnam that meets European GlobalGAP standards.

Mang Yang District has all the natural elements to help dairy cows grow healthily with a cool climate all year round, clean water sources and clean ingredients. Dairy cows at NutiMilk Farm are cared for and raised in harmony with nature and modern technology to produce fresh, clean milk. On average, each cow produces about 38.5 liters of milk per day.

Mr. Doan Trung Kien - Farm Director - said: Although it has only been put into operation for more than 5 years, after the process of improving technology, barn conditions and especially breeds, the farm has achieved very good results. Milk yield is high, nutritional content meets world standards with 3.5 grams of protein/100 ml.

Talking about the potential for livestock development, especially dairy farming in the area, Chairman of the District People's Committee Le Trong said: Mang Yang has a large area, a cool and temperate climate all year round, which is a favorable condition for developing agricultural and forestry production. In addition, the district has a relatively favorable geographical location with many important traffic routes passing through such as: National Highway 19 connecting the Central Highlands provinces and Quy Nhon Port (Binh Dinh province); Provincial Road 666 passes through 5 communes: Kon Chieng, Kon Thup, Dak Djrang, Lo Pang (Mang Yang district) and Po To (Ia Pa district), connecting National Highway 19 to Truong Son Dong road.

Currently, among the pioneering investors in developing large-scale livestock farming in the district are Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group with a beef cattle farm or Nutifood with the NutiMilk dairy farm. This is a direction that is suitable for the local advantages.

According to Mr. Trong, the NutiMilk dairy farm has contributed to job creation and income generation for local people by converting ineffective crop areas to grass and corn to provide raw materials for the farm.

“Enterprises also need to connect and consume products to encourage people to confidently develop raw material sources for livestock farms. We will create all conditions and accompany investors, enterprises, cooperatives, and business households to develop the district's socio-economy , improve income and life for people,” Mr. Trong added.

In 2023, the province's livestock value will reach VND6,420 billion, accounting for 19.13% of the agricultural, forestry and fishery sector. Livestock farming in the form of farms and industries accounts for 36.02%. The province has attracted 210 projects in the livestock sector with a total area of over 9,000 hectares and a total investment capital of over VND36,000 billion, of which 92 projects have been granted investment policy decisions by the Provincial People's Committee, and 118 projects are applying for investment policy approval.
