China’s top pig producers—Twins, Wens, and Muyuan—are stepping up overseas hiring, led by Vietnam. Twins is recruiting across Southeast Asia and Africa and says pay can be 2–3X China’s domestic levels. Wens is urgently building its Vietnam team as it formalises a “go global” strategy. Muyuan is hiring for Vietnam projects linked to its BAF partnership for a 1.6-million-head-per-year facility.
Recruitment tends to peak around the Lunar New Year in China’s farm and feed sector. This year, that familiar seasonal rush has taken on a more outward-looking tone: leading pig companies including Muyuan, Wens, and Twins Group have all issued dedicated overseas recruitment announcements.
Twins Group: Southeast Asia and Africa roles, with “2–3x” domestic pay
On February 28, Twins Group said its Feed & Service business group will launch an overseas hiring campaign. Openings include an overseas R&D director, regional general managers for Vietnam and Indonesia, and a range of subsidiary roles such as general managers, plant managers, formulators, and more.
The roles span subsidiaries in Vietnam, Indonesia, and Myanmar in Southeast Asia, as well as Egypt, Nigeria, and Tanzania in Africa. Candidates are required to have at least 5 years of local, in-country experience in feed-related positions, with local-language ability listed as a plus. Compensation is described as a package combining base salary, sales bonuses, profit sharing, and stock returns. Twins Group said overall pay would be 2–3 times China’s domestic levels, and also ahead of overseas peers in the same industry.
AgriPost previously reported that Twins Group said in late 2025 it planned to add CNY 500 million (USD 69.64 million) of investment in Vietnam over the next three years, building 3 large feed mills and targeting annual feed output of over 2 million t, alongside annual marketings of more than 3 million hogs in the country.
The group has already built 5 modern feed mills in Vietnam and 2 in Myanmar. In Myanmar, projects including a breeder chicken farm, hatchery, and breeding pig farm are also progressing. The company is additionally seeking cooperation opportunities in Southeast Asian markets such as Bangladesh and Cambodia.
Wens: “urgent” Vietnam hires, from senior managers to trainees
Wens began a Vietnam-focused recruitment drive in mid-January, and Muyuan followed with a Vietnam-focused drive in early February. Its posting shows it is urgently hiring two categories: business leaders and international management trainees.
For the business leader role, candidates are expected to oversee finance, administration and HR, production, and construction engineering for Wens’ Vietnam company. The job calls for extensive experience and long-term willingness to be based in Vietnam. Annual pay is listed at CNY 200,000–500,000 (USD 27,855.15–69,637.88).
International trainees will be trained at Wens’ China headquarters before being placed into Vietnam roles across administration and HR, finance, construction, and farming production. Annual pay is listed at CNY 70,000–150,000 (USD 9,749.30–20,891.36).
In early March, during exchanges with institutional investors, Wens said its board has reached consensus on internationalisation, clearly positioning “going overseas” as a major strategic direction, and setting up a dedicated exploration team. Drawing on years of overseas experience and channel resources built through its animal health, equipment, and environmental businesses, the company said it will prioritise taking its broiler business abroad first, then gradually expand into pigs, ducks, and other segments.
Wens said it has recently initiated early contacts with companies or government departments in countries including Vietnam, Malaysia, India, and South Korea, exploring cooperation models such as product exports, technology outputs, and joint-venture plants. The company added it believes global livestock product demand continues to grow, and that overseas markets offer long-term strategic value.
Muyuan: overseas project-focused roles tied to Vietnam collaboration
Muyuan—fresh from its Hong Kong listing—has drawn particular attention with its overseas recruitment. The roles cover four categories: engineering project manager, planning and design, cost management, and partner management, with a stated annual total package of CNY 300,000–500,000 (USD 41,782.73–69,637.88).
Applicants are expected to have relevant academic backgrounds (including civil engineering, project management, urban and rural planning, architecture, engineering cost, or supply chain management) plus at least 2 years’ work experience. Overseas experience is preferred, as is the ability to communicate fluently in Vietnamese and English.
Muyuan’s current overseas business is primarily a partnership with Vietnam’s BAF to build and operate a multi-storey pig production project designed for annual marketings of 1.6 million hogs. Muyuan also plans to provide related cooperation based on BAF’s needs, including technical services and equipment sales.
