New Certified Humane® Farm in Vietnam Strengthens Reliable Cage-Free Egg Supply for Food and Hospitality Businesses
Media OutReach Newswire 
Global Food Partners and Certified Humane® celebrated this milestone at a Cage-Free Meet in Vietnam, as companies accelerate cage-free sourcing and compliance
HUNG YEN, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 April 2026 – Global Food Partners (GFP) and Certified Humane® this week celebrated a major milestone for Vietnam’s egg industry: the certification of the Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative, owned by Mr. Tue, under the Certified Humane® program—one of the world’s leading standards for farm animal welfare.
The certification is the result of a multi-year partnership launched between GFP and the Cooperative in 2024 to transition the Cooperative’s entire 50,000-hen flock to a 100% cage-free system—one of the largest transitions to cage free in Vietnam and across Asia. GFP provided technical support throughout the transition, including barn retrofitting, implementation of animal welfare best practices, and preparation of the farm to meet Certified Humane® standards.
“Our partnership and this certification are powerful examples of how producers in Vietnam can successfully transition to cage-free systems, expand market access, and meet the growing demand from food and hospitality businesses,” said Jayasimha Nuggehalli, Chief Program Officer and Co-founder of Global Food Partners. “As companies accelerate progress toward their cage-free commitments and reporting, having reliable, locally produced supply is more important than ever.”
Mr. Tue, leader of Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative, added: “Transitioning to cage-free production and achieving Certified Humane® certification has opened new opportunities for our cooperative. With support from Global Food Partners, we’ve improved animal welfare while strengthening our business and accessing new markets. The ability to sell cage-free credits has also helped us grow sustainably, enabling us to expand our cage-free operations and implement best practices on our farm.”
The certification comes at a critical time, as food and hospitality companies across Vietnam and Asia—including Marriott International, Accor, Hilton, Mondelez International, and Compass Group—scale up cage-free sourcing to meet their commitments.
The milestone was celebrated at a Cage-Free Meet co-hosted by GFP and the Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative in Hung Yen Province, Hanoi, where Cooperative members and local producers gathered to explore the business case for cage-free production and practical steps to begin the transition. The event was also attended by Tuan Manh Breeding Company, a leading egg distributor in North Vietnam, underscoring growing market engagement in building a credible cage-free supply chain.

About Nguyen Gia Livestock Production Cooperative:
Raising commercial egg-laying hens since 2008, Mr. Nguyen Huu Tue’s farm has continuously grown and expanded in scale, now reaching approximately 50,000 hens. In 2019, Mr. Tue and other members established the Nguyen Gia Livestock Cooperative with 7 members whose main activity is raising commercial egg-laying hens to supply eggs to supermarkets, large hotels and restaurants in the region and the whole country. After many years of raising caged laying hens, realizing that this system revealed many shortcomings related to the health and welfare of the animals as well as productivity and economic efficiency, Mr. Tue’s farm and its members have begun to switch to a cage-free system.
