This is a key annual event aimed at strengthening partnerships, sharing market information, reinforcing cooperation, providing market updates, and aligning on solutions for the sustainable development of the pangasius industry. The event also affirms the company's determination to usher IDI's export turnover into a new growth phase.

IMPRESSIVE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE

Amid a volatile global economic landscape, IDI has maintained a robust growth rate. In 2024, its consolidated revenue reached nearly VND 7,200 billion. In the first half of 2025, revenue amounted to nearly VND 3,500 billion, a 72% increase compared to the same period last year.

Furthermore, the results of the 19th Period of Review (POR19) in the U.S. confirmed that IDI is subject to a low anti-dumping duty rate, creating a sustainable competitive advantage in this key market.

MARKET CONTEXT AND OPPORTUNITIES

According to industry data, Vietnam's pangasius exports in the first six months of 2025 reached USD 1.023 billion (an 11% increase), with the U.S. and Brazil posting notable growth. However, challenges arise from new U.S. tax policies, creating cost pressure. This also presents an opportunity for Vietnamese enterprises to demonstrate their competitiveness through high product quality, transparent traceability, and a sustainable supply chain.

Mr. Le Van Canh - CEO of IDI, delivered a consistent message: “We do not walk ahead, nor do we walk behind—we always stand with our farmers, through both favorable and difficult times.”

In this context, IDI's continued stable profit growth is clear evidence of its sound vision and internal strength.

FARMER SUPPORT POLICIES – FORGING STRONG PARTNERSHIPS

IDI has always considered its farmers to be strategic partners. At the conference, the company announced several practical policies:

• Guaranteed and stable product offtake, ensuring reliable sales outlets and prompt payments.

• Support with capital, technology, and feed, along with advance payments to reduce initial financial pressure.

• Fair adjustments to the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) based on actual harvest sizes.

• Reduced interest rates on feed in cases of natural disasters or adverse weather.

• Encouraging optimal stocking densities to lower FCR, shorten the farming cycle, and increase efficiency.

IDI is also promoting a model of standardized farming zones, full traceability, and uniform technical application, aimed at meeting the requirements of all international markets.

STRATEGIC DIRECTION FOR 2025–2026

Expanding Production Scale: In early 2025, IDI will commence construction of a specialized seafood processing plant for the U.S. market with an investment of nearly VND 700 billion. This initiative is designed to address the challenge of meeting "U.S.-grade" quality standards.

Mr. Duong Nghia Quoc - Chairman of the Vietnam Pangasius Association, highly praised the strong partnership model between IDI Company and its farmers.

Financial Targets for 2025: Revenue of VND 8,000 billion and post-tax profit of VND 170 billion.

Strategy: Enhancing quality, diversifying markets, and leveraging tariff advantages to increase competitiveness.

Commitment to Partnership: Staying closely connected with farmers to build a sustainable, efficient, and internationally integrated pangasius value chain.

Throughout the conference, IDI conveyed a profound message to its farmers: "A steadfast partnership for a global reach." "IDI does not walk ahead, nor does it walk behind—we always stand with our farmers." "IDI: Meeting international standards, leveraging tariff advantages, and enhancing competitiveness."

“IDI and its partners share a common goal: to build a steadfast partnership and achieve a global reach.”

The IDI 2025 Customer Conference was not only an occasion to express gratitude but also a platform to affirm the company's vision: "A steadfast partnership for breakthrough growth."

With a solid financial foundation, impressive business performance, and practical partnership policies, IDI is confident that, together with its farmers, it will conquer new heights for Vietnam's pangasius industry in the international market.
