Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
Loc Son hatchery on a land area of 12,200 sqm or 1.2 hectares in industrial zone in Bao Loc city, Lam Dong province, with current production of 10.5 million DOCs per annum; (goo.gl/maps/tNPGcqtYLEM2)The breeder farms produce hatching eggs that are then hatched in the hatchery. Typical breeder farms have a number of poultry houses for roosters and hens. Nests are placed in the shed, usually in the center, so that the hens are attracted to the dark areas of the nest to lay their eggs. Hatching eggs produced in such breeding farms are collected and transferred in trays to the hatchery by special trucks under controlled hygienic conditions.The hatchery is a special building with controlled ventilation and quarantine conditions and machines for holding and incubating large numbers of eggs. DOCs coming out of hatchery are then picked up by the buyers, who are typically layer or broiler poultry farmers in Vietnam and Cambodia.IFC is considering an investment in Bel Ga Vietnam to support the expansion of its poultry breeding and hatching operations in Vietnam ("the project"), which will include:- Addition of 10 breeding houses or 96,000 PS;- Construction of one additional hatchery building and installation of equipment next to the existing hatchery in Loc Son in order to double the current hatchery capacity.The project will be implemented within the existing premises of breeding farms and hatchery, and no additional new land will be required. Also, the necessary utilities and supporting infrastructure already exists, which will be adequate for the facilities post-expansion.
