What CJ Feed & Care does

CJ Feed & Care is an animal feed and livestock nutrition business that manufactured and distributed feed products for poultry, swine, and aquaculture livestock farmers across five Asian markets — Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, South Korea, and the Philippines. The company operated a production footprint of 17 feed mills and associated livestock operations, distributing directly to farmers via its regional mill network. Its core technology centered on tight formulation processes, quality control systems, and what the company described as 'cutting-edge technology' for chicken feed production, though no specific proprietary formulation patents or technical differentiators are disclosed in available material.

The business generated revenue primarily through direct hardware sales of feed and livestock products to a horizontally-segmented base of livestock farmers, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Its value proposition combined feed product supply with farm management support aimed at professionalizing farmer operations, improving productivity, and increasing the competitiveness of regional livestock industries. CJ Feed & Care was a subsidiary of CJ CheilJedang Corporation prior to March 2026, when it was acquired in full by Royal De Heus (De Heus Animal Nutrition) for USD 854 million. The deal — which required cross-border legal advisory across five jurisdictions and 15 corporate entities — indicates the business was treated by De Heus as a strategic platform for Asian animal nutrition expansion rather than a standalone asset. Separately, the company was fined by South Korea's Fair Trade Commission in 2022–2023 for participating in a Telegram-coordinated price-fixing scheme with eight other pork processors on E-Mart supply contracts.

Direct peers

• Charoen Pokphand Foods: CP Group's flagship is one of the world's largest integrated feed and animal protein producers with deep operations in Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and elsewhere in ASEAN. It directly competes with CJ Feed & Care across poultry, swine, and aqua feed, with the same direct-to-farmer distribution model and backward-integration strategy.
• Malindo Feedmill: Malindo is an Indonesian poultry feed manufacturer with national mill coverage and direct distribution to poultry farmers across the archipelago. It competes head-to-head with CJ Feed & Care's Indonesia feed mills for the same broiler and layer farmer customers.
• New Hope Liuhe: New Hope is China's largest animal feed producer and has been expanding aggressively into Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Philippines) with poultry, swine, and aqua feed. It is one of the most aggressive regional challengers to CJ Feed & Care's mill network across overlapping ASEAN geographies.
• Gold Coin Group: Gold Coin is a long-established Asian animal feed manufacturer with major operations in Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, China, and others. It directly competes with CJ Feed & Care in swine and poultry feed across overlapping Southeast Asian geographies.
• Japfa Comfeed Indonesia: Japfa is one of Indonesia's largest vertically integrated poultry and aquaculture feed producers, selling compound feed through a direct sales force to farmers - a near-identical business model to CJ Feed & Care's Indonesia operations. It is a direct head-to-head competitor in the same Indonesian market.
• Royal De Heus Animal Nutrition: Royal De Heus is the Dutch animal nutrition company that acquired CJ Feed & Care for USD 854 million in March 2026, making it the now-parent entity. It produces compound feed for poultry, swine, and aquaculture across Europe and Asia with overlapping Southeast Asia operations - directly comparable in product, customer base, and distribution model.

Broad incumbents

• Alltech: Alltech is a global animal nutrition company focused on premixes, feed additives, and specialty ingredients across ASEAN markets. It overlaps with CJ Feed & Care's farm-support value proposition but competes more in specialty nutrition inputs than bulk compound feed milling.
• Cargill Animal Nutrition: Cargill Animal Nutrition is a global broad-line feed and premix producer with significant ASEAN presence. It competes with CJ Feed & Care across compound feed and specialty nutrition, but at much larger global scale and primarily through B2B premix channels rather than farmer-direct distribution.

Regional players

• San Miguel Foods: San Miguel Foods is the Philippine conglomerate's animal nutrition and processing arm, dominating feed, poultry, and pork in the Philippines. It is directly comparable to CJ Feed & Care's Philippine operations and competes for the same Filipino farmer and integrator customer base.
• Pilmico Foods Corporation: Pilmico is the Aboitiz group's integrated agribusiness unit in the Philippines, producing feeds, flour, and animal protein products. It is directly comparable to CJ Feed & Care's Philippines feed operations and serves similar farm and integrator customers in the same regional market.
