Push to boost demand for Australian barley in Vietnam

VIETNAMESE grain customers are showing strong interest in using more clean, green and nutritious Australian barley in animal feed rations. The Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC) recently hosted two separate technical webinars for Vietnam’s feed industry – focusing on pigs and dairy – as part of an ongoing campaign that started in 2016 to stimulate demand for Aussie feed grains across Asia.
