Haid Group reported strong overseas growth in the first half of 2026, with overseas feed sales rising more than 25% year-on-year. The company is expanding feed, seedstock, animal health, and farming operations across key international markets, while improving production efficiency and building capacity. Overseas revenue reached about CNY 10.2 billion (USD 1.42 billion), up 24%, and accounted for nearly 16% of total revenue.
Haid Group sold 14.78 million tonnes of feed in the first half of 2026, up about 8% year-on-year, while overseas feed sales continued to grow at a much faster pace, rising more than 25%, according to the company’s 2026 interim report.
The group attributed the strong overseas performance to both market demand and efforts to increase production efficiency. In emerging markets including Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the farming industry is moving from traditional small-scale farming towards more modern, larger-scale operations. This is driving demand for high-quality feed, advanced breeding stock, and professional farming technologies.
At the same time, Haid has been working to ease capacity constraints in some regions. Measures include unlocking incremental capacity, reducing product changeovers, improving production scheduling, and raising output efficiency. The company has also optimised process details at key bottlenecks, including pelleting and extrusion, to improve production efficiency, while continuing to expand its overseas markets and production capacity.
Seedstock and animal health push overseas
Haid is also accelerating the international expansion of its seedstock and animal health businesses.
Construction and operation of aquaculture and poultry breeding facilities in key farming regions including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Ecuador are progressing steadily. As farming conditions change globally, the company is also expanding its animal health business alongside its overseas feed operations.
“Through the synergy between feed and animal health, the company has effectively strengthened its local technical service capabilities overseas and increased customer stickiness and brand loyalty,” Haid Group said.
The group has also made an initial move into overseas farming as part of the extension of its value chain and broader globalisation strategy. Its focus is mainly on species such as shrimp and laying hens, which Haid described as major products consumed globally and areas in which the company has accumulated strong expertise.
Haid noted that many overseas farming regions have favourable natural resources, but productivity remains constrained by shortcomings including relatively underdeveloped breeding technologies, frequent disease outbreaks, and less advanced farming models. This results in low production efficiency despite strong demand for animal protein, contributing to high protein prices.
Against this backdrop, Haid said its understanding of farming, technical products, and advanced farming technologies could provide a systematic advantage.
At an earnings briefing on August 25, the company also said that, from a capital expenditure perspective, the overall investment required for an individual overseas farming project is manageable.
Overseas revenue reaches CNY 10.2 billion
Haid Group generated about CNY 10.2 billion (USD 1.42 billion) in overseas revenue in the first half of 2026, up 24% year-on-year. By comparison, total group revenue increased by about 9%.
Overseas operations accounted for nearly 16% of total revenue, while their gross margin reached 13.90%, significantly higher than that of the company’s domestic business.
