WHY DO MIDDLE EASTERN FARMS PREFER VIETNAMESE WOOD SHAVINGS?

Uncovering the appeal of Mixed Wood Shavings from Vietnam in large-scale livestock farming across the Middle East

Mixed Wood Shavings

In recent years, Mixed Wood Shavings from Vietnam have steadily established their position in the global livestock supply market, especially in the Middle East. From prestigious horse farms in Saudi Arabia, industrial dairy operations in the UAE, to poultry clusters in Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman, Vietnamese wood shavings have emerged as a reliable and efficient alternative to traditional bedding products imported from Europe or North America. What makes this seemingly simple material so appealing? The answer lies in its combination of quality raw materials, adaptability to harsh climates, operational efficiency, and professional logistics support.

1. High-quality natural materials – the foundation of trust

The core factor that earns the trust of livestock farms in the Middle East is the quality of raw materials. Unlike coarse or inconsistent shavings with unclear origins, Vietnamese Mixed Wood Shavings are primarily produced from acacia, rubberwood, and pine – all abundant and sustainably sourced in Vietnam. After initial cutting and processing, the material undergoes industrial drying to ensure moisture levels are consistently maintained between 10–15%. This helps prevent mold growth, ensures the shavings remain fluffy and easy to spread, and enhances long-term usability.

One of the standout features is that Vietnamese shavings are completely free from chemicals, artificial scents, and allergens. The product meets strict hygiene and biosecurity standards, making it suitable for modern farms with large-scale operations and international certifications. As a result, Vietnamese shavings are increasingly valued in markets that are traditionally very selective in sourcing livestock bedding materials.

2. Adaptability to harsh Middle Eastern climates

Unlike Vietnam’s humid tropical climate, the Middle East features desert-like conditions, with summer temperatures often exceeding 45°C, low humidity, pervasive dust, and intense dry winds. These conditions make it extremely challenging to maintain clean, dry animal housing. Without proper bedding materials, animal waste can quickly accumulate, leading to heat buildup, ammonia emissions, and increased health risks for livestock – especially sensitive animals such as racehorses, dairy cows, or industrial poultry breeds.

Vietnamese Mixed Wood Shavings have proven their durability and consistency in these demanding environments. The product remains dry, resists clumping, and does not compact even under long-term pressure. It helps maintain air quality within barns and stalls, minimizes microbial growth, and supports animal health. This performance has set Vietnamese wood shavings apart from other products on the market.

3. Operational and economic efficiency

In addition to quality and climate compatibility, what farm owners value most is operational cost-effectiveness. With their high absorption capacity and effective odor control, Vietnamese wood shavings significantly reduce the frequency of bedding replacement. This saves labor, materials, and time, especially in large-scale farms housing thousands of animals. Every extended bedding cycle results in substantial cost savings.

Moreover, used shavings can be repurposed for composting, soil enrichment, or other agricultural applications, making the product a part of sustainable farming practices. This environmental advantage is a key reason why modern farms in the Middle East are shifting toward Vietnamese wood shavings as a core component of their circular and eco-conscious operations.

4. Stable supply and professional export services

Success in the Middle East market depends not only on product quality but also on logistics and service professionalism. Vietnamese exporters like Agroviet have demonstrated strong capabilities in these areas.
