AusCham Visits Mavin Group as Part of MIDT 2025: Showcasing Green Manufacturing Excellence in the Mekong Delta

Dong Thap, 26 June, 2025 - As part of the Mekong Delta Investment & Trade Discovery Tour (MIDT 2025), AusCham Vietnam led a delegation of Australian businesses and institutional investors to visit Mavin Austfeed Dong Thap Feed Mill. The visit, under the Green Manufacturing stream of the MIDT program, offered participants a first-hand look at Mavin Group’s impressive contributions to sustainable agriculture and green manufacturing in Vietnam.

A Visionary Model of Green Manufacturing

Mavin Group, a leading Australian–Vietnamese agribusiness, was established in 2004 and has since developed into a fully integrated "Farm-to-Table" ecosystem. Its operations span animal feed, veterinary pharmaceuticals, farming, meat processing, and ready-to-eat products. The Dong Thap feed mill—one of five across Vietnam—is a state-of-the-art facility built to European GMP Plus standards using equipment imported from Bühler (Switzerland). It has a capacity of 300,000 tons/year and is widely regarded as one of the cleanest and most modern animal feed factories in the country.

Strong Commitment to Green Growth

During the visit, Mavin’s Chairman Mr. David John Whitehead welcomed the delegation and shared insights into the group’s long-term strategy. He emphasized Mavin’s commitment to sustainable development, advanced technology, and environmental responsibility. The delegation had the opportunity to observe the production process, learn about green factory management, and engage in a vibrant discussion on challenges and opportunities for investing in Vietnam’s agricultural sector.


The Chairman of Mavin shared the Group’s over 20-year journey of sustainable investment in Vietnam.

A Trusted Partner in the Mekong

As a long-standing Corporate Member of AusCham and a representative on AusCham Vietnam’s Board of Directors, Mavin Group has been a strong supporter of the Chamber’s mission to strengthen trade and investment ties between Australia and Vietnam. Its Dong Thap facility serves as a compelling demonstration of the Mekong Delta’s investment potential—showcasing the value of responsible, high-tech, and scalable agribusiness practices. The visit provided MIDT participants with meaningful insights into local supply chains, workforce capabilities, and the broader policy environment shaping the region’s growth.
