Mr. Thái Đại Ngọc, led a provincial delegation to work with DHN Gia Lai High-Tech Agricultural Development Joint Stock Company in Ia Le commune and Phú Lộc Phát Livestock Co., Ltd. in Ia Sao commune.
The delegation included Vice Chairpersons of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Thị Thanh Lịch and Dương Mah Tiệp, along with representatives from several provincial departments and agencies.
The DHN Gia Lai high-tech livestock farm, developed by Hùng Nhơn Group and De Heus Group of the Netherlands, covers nearly 53 hectares with total investment of about VND 1,000 billion (approximately USD 40 million).
Built to European technological standards, the facility adheres to environmental protection regulations through carbon credit mechanisms and aims to achieve a Net Zero target.
Phase one began operations in January 2025. The project has since completed phase two and entered operation 10 months ahead of schedule, supplying around 24,000 high-quality breeding stock annually to local markets and the Central–Central Highlands region.
Meanwhile, the Phú Lộc Phát livestock farm spans 11.8 hectares and has a capacity of 2,400 breeding sows. The facility supplies nearly 5,000 weaned piglets to the market each month and operates under a high-tech farming model using wastewater recycling systems, infrared cameras and sensor chips.
Investors in both projects emphasized their commitment to social responsibility, describing the local community as a strategic partner in sustainable development.
At the working session, Ngọc praised the investors’ recent achievements and encouraged them to expand tree planting around production areas, accelerate digital transformation and connect their databases with relevant government departments.
He also recommended that companies cooperate with local authorities on waste management solutions and strengthen links with other livestock farms in the province to form a shared ecosystem for collective development.
The provincial Party chief requested departments and agencies to compile data on livestock products and industry codes, and assigned the Department of Construction to review planning in response to proposals related to possible project expansion.
Authorities and localities were asked to closely monitor investor difficulties to provide timely support and to guide investors in selecting crops suited to local climate and soil conditions. Areas hosting livestock projects were also urged to review irrigation systems, cultivation zones and land allocation to ensure stable raw material supply.
Ngọc further suggested considering the establishment of a provincial livestock association to help address investor concerns, connect producers and expand export markets to neighbouring countries such as Laos and Cambodia.
Later the same day, the delegation inspected several sites within the planned Tây Sơn Thượng Đạo historical complex, including Miếu Xà, Bến Tuyết Lake and a rest stop at the top of An Khê Pass.
During the visit, Ngọc asked the Provincial People’s Committee and relevant agencies to accelerate planning work for the preservation, restoration and promotion of the Tây Sơn Thượng Đạo Special National Historical Complex, while studying additional projects to support tourism development and create livelihoods for local residents.
