Running a successful egg farm requires more than good management and healthy hens — it also demands a solid understanding of Vietnam’s legal and regulatory framework. From livestock laws and welfare standards to food safety, labeling, and transport regulations, every detail plays a crucial role in responsible and sustainable farming.

To secure long-term success, farmers should:

‍
• Understand key laws governing livestock, veterinary care, and animal welfare.
• Follow national standards for egg quality, food safety, and labeling.
• Ensure proper packaging, storage, and transportation in compliance with regulations.
• Stay updated on evolving rules and certification requirements.

Many farmers face unnecessary risks simply because they are unaware of the relevant regulations. Staying compliant not only protects the farm from penalties but also builds trust with partners, buyers, and consumers — positioning farmers to thrive in a market that increasingly values transparency and ethical production.
