COLLAGEN Production Project
November 11th,2009 Vinh Hoan received notice of the People Committee of Dong Thap which approved for the company and its partners to establish a Collagen plant in the province.
Collagen is an type of protein present in the amimal's cartilage, skin ans scales. Collagen has an unusual amino acid composition which is useful for human cell, tissue repair and regeneration. Because of its appealing characteristics, collagen is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical and costmetics industries.
Many years, Vinh Hoan has been trying to maximize value of the by-products from pangasius processing. Vinh Hoan recognizes that collagen has it protential to be a new business venture given its wide usage in both the industrial and medical fields. Vinh Hoan has then collaborated with its strategic partner on development efforts to transform concepts and ideas into bio-friendly products using collagen samples from the fish skin. The results from university's laboratory in the United Sates shows that collagen from fish is ideal becuase its purity and molecular weight. The sucessful collaborative relationship has resulted an agreement to jointly construct a collagen production plant.
With total productivity of 300 tons of raw materials per day, Pangasius processing plants every day can supply a huge amount of fish skin for Collagen production. If fresh fish skiin can be sold only at 0.1 usd/kg , we can produce Collagen and sell it for $25-30 usd/kg. The project will be firstly executed as experiment, and to test the comprehensive of all equipments. After that, the plant will be constructed with total capicity of 1000 tons/year, and the total investment cost will be 12 million of dollars. Its sucessfull, the project will not only bring good business results, but also be meanigful in developing technology, effectively maximizing value of the by-products of Pangasius fish and addking value to the whole seafood industry in general.
