Potential products from pangasius

Vietnam's pangasius industry has gone beyond its role as just a high-value export industry, becoming an important and stable source of global supply to meet growing international market demand. The appeal of pangasius meat goes beyond its delicious taste, and includes unique features in terms of form and nutritional quality. The combination of significant annual aquaculture production and strong growth in the Pangasius export processing industry provides the basis for a large potential for fish oil production, particularly derived from by-products this industry, especially the catfish fat part.

Pangasius fish

Pangasius fish, a member of the Pangasiidae family, scientifically labeled Pangasius hypothalamus, has special characteristics. Its elongated, scaleless body and smooth skin, along with its small blue-gray head, large eyes, and two pairs of antennae in its mouth, contribute to its unique characteristics. Pangasius can reach a maximum length of 130 cm and weigh up to 44 kg. Found mainly in freshwater areas of Southeast Asia, pangasius display omnivorous tendencies with a clear preference for food of animal origin.

The role of Pangasius in Vietnamese exports

In the context of Vietnam, the pangasius farming industry follows a strong development trajectory, especially in the Mekong Delta region, which accounts for up to 75% of the country's total pangasius production. Strategic raw material management, towards sustainable production, is a tool to maintain stability and promote sustainable development throughout the supply chain.

Vietnam, the world's leading exporter of pangasius, has enjoyed spectacular success on the international stage. In the record year 2019, Vietnam exported pangasius to 131 markets, reaching a staggering $1.61 billion, or 80.4 percent of the total export value. The main destination markets for Vietnamese pangasius are China – Hong Kong, the United States, the European Union, ASEAN countries, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Japan.

Pangasius fat compartments have become the mainstay of the fish oil industry, accounting for 15-25% of the total weight of the fish. This high fat content is an important byproduct of the Pangasius production line, with annual production estimates ranging from 250 to 300,000 tons. The fish oil industry is actively involved in extensive research and exploration, highlighting the potential of these various by-products across various sectors. Applications include the synthesis of alkyl ketene dimers (AKD) for papermaking, biolubricant production, and the use of fish oil as a fuel for diesel engines.

VASEP said that pangasius export in the first half of this year faced many difficulties due to world fluctuations, the impact of taking advantage of food prices as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In the second half of 2023, the reduction rate will gradually decrease over the same period. In addition, more positive demand entering the ordering season for year-end consumption and major festivals will also help Vietnamese pangasius exports have more orders.

Molasses Sugarcane

Molasses Sugarcane is a byproduct of sugar cane production. This is a special liquid, made from sugar cane juice after separating all the sugar. Molasses has a special, rich flavor and is often slightly bitter. Molasses is used in livestock farming, as a mineral-rich supplementary food for pets, livestock and poultry. Helps pets stay healthy, grow quickly and gain weight. In addition, molasses is also used in microbial fermentation in industrial wastewater treatment, environmental treatment and as an additive in animal feed processing, green silage, and solution mixing.

CORN SILAGE

From our own fields, in top quality, The entire Corn Plant at 80 days interval, typically harvested at a whole plant moisture content of 65%~73 % in accordance with the clients requirements. Up to 50% of the dry matter of corn silage is grain corn was collected. (Grain in milk to dough stage, before leaf senescence) More farmers are increasingly relying on corn silage to feed their dairy herds because of its high energy and digestibility. The other reason must be that ungicide-treated corn for silage has been shown to have less fiber, more sugar and fat, better aerobic stability and higher dry-matter digestibility.

FERMENTED BAGASSE PELLETS

Fermented bagasse pellets are a product made from bagasse after sugar pressing and then produced through bagasse fermentation. Fermented bagasse pellets are not only beneficial for the environment but also contribute to improving agricultural production. The fermentation process transforms the initial nutrient-poor sugarcane waste into a carbohydrate-rich energy source that is easily digestible for both humans and animals. These pellets can be used as a component in the livestock feed for animals such as cattle, pigs, and poultry. For livestock, they provide the necessary energy and protein for growth and weight gain. Additionally, Fermented Bagasse Pellets yield organic fertilizers rich in organic matter and minerals. They can be employed to improve soil structure and provide nutrients for crops. They also contain enzymes and vitamins that promote natural digestion. They can be used in the production of shampoos and soaps, and can be fed to the cattle by mixing it with their feed.

Rice bran

Bran is also known as flour bran, milled bran because in the process of milling and processing cereals, after obtaining the main product, the grain, there is a by-product of high value that is bran. The bran has long been recovered by millers and sold as a primary product after refined grains. Bran is recovered in two forms: dry bran and wet bran. The dried bran will be dried again to preserve it longer, while the wet bran is usually sold to catfish farming establishments for immediate use.

Coconut Copra Meal

Copra is the dried meat, or kernel, of the coconut. Coconut oil is extracted from it and has made copra an important agricultural commodity for many coconut-producing countries. It also yields coconut cake which is mainly used as feed for livestock. Making copra – removing the shell, breaking up, drying – is usually done where the coconut palms grow. Copra can be made by smoke drying, sun drying, or kiln drying.
