“We are considering a potential exit from operations in Vietnam, early in fiscal 2015, which have been part of a larger joint venture in the region. This business, which includes hog production, feed mills, and a processed meats facility, all located in Vietnam, has not delivered the results we expect from our international investments,” Hormel told just-food.
According to the website of San Miguel’s food arm, San Miguel Pure Foods, Hormel owns a 49% stake in San Miguel Hormel (Vn) Co.
A spokesperson for San Miguel declined to comment on whether the companies were in talks over Hormel’s stake.
