BIOMIN Vietnam, as key distributor, will be responsible for the distribution of Natuphos E in the Vietnamese market.

As a new generation phytase which helps swine, poultry and aquaculture better utilise phosphorous and other key nutrients, Natuphos E ensures more productive and sustainable output for the animal feed industry and local farmers. BASF will be launching the product in Vietnam, and BIOMIN Vietnam will be responsible for the distribution in the country.

"BIOMIN is honoured and excited to bring Natuphos E to the Vietnamese market with BASF. This cooperation has been built on a strong relationship and trust that we developed over time. Innovation and quality are our focus and we look forward to building our partnership and further developing the business footprint of both BIOMIN and BASF in the region," said Marc Guinnement, managing director of BIOMIN Asia Pacific.

"High quality products, good access to the market and sound technical support are the keys to success in any market," said Stephen Crisp, regional sales head of BASF Animal Nutrition Asia Pacific. "BIOMIN is a multinational company with a strong market presence and penetration in Vietnam. Through our partnership with BIOMIN, feed manufacturers and farmers will benefit from considerable cost savings through a more efficient diet. Natuphos E releases phosphorus, amino acids and energy which can be utilised by the animal. This makes Natuphos E the most efficient choice available in the market."

In addition to Natuphos E, BIOMIN Vietnam will also be responsible for the distribution of Natugrain^® TS, a feed enzyme containing highly purified NSP-degrading enzymes, in the Vietnamese market.

The two companies officially announced the partnership as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of BIOMIN Vietnam.

Manufactured by BASF in Germany, Natuphos E delivers superior pelleting and premix stability in challenging environments and feed-production processes, in addition to a long-term shelf life stability. To date, the new phytase has been launched in some 10 countries in Asia Pacific and recently in the European Union market.
