Competition between Vietnam livestock industry with imported meat
Currently, the total of cattle in Vietnam was 5.1 billion cows and 200,000 hectares land for beef cattle farming. The beef production does not meet the demand of domestic consumption. Each year, Vietnam import about 180,000 cows and 600,000 tonnes of meat, a value at USD 120 million from Thailand, Laos and Australia.
Although the meat products imported taxable quite high, but the price of import meat was still lower than the same products in domestic, such as the price of import chicken was VND 22,000-25,000 per kg while the cost of production in Vietnam was VND 28,000-30,000 per kilogram.
According to the president of Vietnam Livestock Husbandry, Mr. Nguyen Dang Vang said, Vietnam will participated Agreement Trans-Pacific Partnership in 2015, theretofore, the import duties will be 0%, Vietnam livestock industry will be faced with many challenges in competition with imported products.

China Bright Food plans to acquire its 2nd Australian firm:
Bright Food Group plans to list its newly acquired assets in foreign countries, including Manassen Foods in Australia and cereal maker Weetabix in Britain.
Bright Food Group Co Ltd, China's second-largest food producer, acquired a midsized Australian dairy company following the purchase of Manassen Foods in the same country. Manassen, in which Bright Food has a 75 percent stake, has signed a deal to buy Mundella Foods, a four-decade-old company in Western Australia, according to Bright Food spokesman Pan Jianjun. The deal will make Mundella a wholly owned subsidiary of Manassen, a supplier and distributor of local and international foods, Pan told China Daily on Monday. Financial details were not disclosed. Records filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission showed that significant management changes occurred at Mundella last month, including the appointment of directors from Manassen to the smaller dairy company. Pan confirmed that Manassen's senior employees will take managerial roles in Mundella and oversee its operations.
Bright Food paid $516 million in 2011 for its majority stake in Manassen, which has a strong presence in West Australia through its ownership of Margaret River Dairy Co and gourmet olive group Don Vica. Mundella, which is also based in West Australia, was founded in 1972, when the Hector family usedsurplus milk to make dairy products and supply local shops. The company does not publish financial reports. The recently acquired company owns one of West Australia's best-known dairy brands and has secured broad distribution of its products, such as yogurts and cheeses, through local supermarkets and specialty food stores, Pan added. The move will help enrich Manassen's product line.
The State-backed Bright Food plans to expand its major business areas - dairy products, wines, sugar and branded food products - overseas. Prioritizing targets in Australia, New Zealand and Europe, Bright Food has taken bites of foreign assets to boost overseas sales.
Apart from Manassen, it bought French wine merchant Diva Bordeaux and British cereal maker Weetabix, and it's also in talks with Tnuva Food Industries Ltd, Israel's biggest food manufacturer and distributor. The Shanghai-based firm is contemplating listing some of its foreign assets. Bright Food said it's also mapping out an aggressive plan to place its products in new channels. "We're creating a genuine global network by allowing, for instance, British customers to access Mundella's cheese, or Australian consumers to have a taste of French wine," Pan said. Bright Food holds a 5.7 percent share of China's CNY 174 billion ($28.54 billion) dairy market, ranking fourth in the domestic market, according to Euromonitor International. It has a market share of 1.4 percent in terms of packaged foods and 1.6 percent in the ice cream market, said the London-based firm. In 2013, Chinese companies launched overseas M&A deals worth about $56.2 billion, and overall M&A activity will likely stay buoyant in 2014, said a Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu report.

China Dairy import to grow strongly in 2014
China's whole milk powder imports, whose soaring growth this year has been key to supporting dairy prices near record levels, are to grow nearly as fast in 2014, with purchases of skim milk powder and whey to prove strong too. China's whole milk powder buy-ins, which jumped 28% to a record 520,000 tons this year, will surge 25% in 2014 too, driven by demand from manufacturers of the likes of infant formula and yoghurt, the US Department of Agriculture's Beijing bureau said.
Underlying market trends of "strong population growth, continued urbanization, higher incomes and nutritional concerns" are driving the popularity of whole milk powder, the bureau said. However, China's own production is being squeezed by a dearth of capacity, besides domestic milk output growth which is struggling to keep up with consumption expected to rise 6.8% to 38.6m tons next year. "With a growing population and changing dietary demands from increasingly urban dwellers, China's milk demand will likely continue to outpace its local milk production, resulting in additional dairy imports in 2013 and 2014," the bureau said.
Indeed, Chinese imports of skim milk powder will rise by 15.0% to 230,000 tons in 2014, accelerating a little from the 14% rise this year. "Non-fat dairy milk is normally substituted for whole milk powder when prices are too high," the bureau said, noting that in 2013, "the non-fat dairy milk import price increased by 14% to an average of $3,834 per tons, making it higher than the whole milk powder price for the first time since 2008". Whole milk powder, containing extra fat, should in theory be more expensive that skim milk powder.
Furthermore, cheese imports will rise by 18% to nearly 45,000 tons, and why purchases by 20% to 442,000 tons.
