Partnership launched to transition Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative’s 50,000 hens to 100% certified cage-free production systems, providing solutions for Vietnamese companies to meet their cage-free commitments.
At a signing ceremony on 8 December 2024 in Hung Yen Province, stakeholders from across the food industry, local producers, and community leaders gathered to celebrate this partnership. The collaboration offers two solutions for food businesses looking to achieve cage-free commitments:
- Direct Cage-Free Sourcing: Companies can purchase certified, physical cage-free eggs directly from Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative.
- Impact Incentives Program: Businesses can also meet their cage-free commitments by purchasing Impact Incentives—cage-free credits that directly support Mr. Nguyen Huu Tue’s cage-free production and transition.
About Impact Incentives
GFP’s Impact Incentives program, the world’s first egg credit trading scheme, provides a flexible, cost-effective solution to sourcing challenges while driving sustainable change. By purchasing these credits, food companies can offset gaps in their supply chains, ensuring their cage-free commitments are met by December 2025.
For producers like Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative, Impact Incentives generate a premium income that funds the transition to cage-free systems, covers ongoing costs, and supports further expansion to meet increasing demand. This model empowers both corporates and farmers to achieve their sustainability and business goals collaboratively.
Technical Support and Capacity Building
As part of the partnership, GFP’s Science and Extension team provides tailored technical training and guidance, enabling Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative to adopt high-welfare farming practices, retrofit existing facilities, implement effective cage-free management, and achieve international welfare certification. With GFP’s support, the farm is on track to transition fully to cage-free operations in 2025, ensuring it can meet the needs of food and hospitality companies while improving long-term productivity and profitability.
