Vietnam is one of Asia's largest beer markets, and that makes it a dependable origin for dried brewer's yeast. TBESBY, the brewer's yeast brand of TBES Company Limited, collects fresh yeast from leading international breweries in Vietnam, drum-dries it at its own facilities and exports it to pet food and animal feed manufacturers in the US, EU, UK and Australia.
Why Vietnam is a strong source of brewer's yeast
Brewer's yeast supply follows beer volume. Vietnam produced about 4.6 billion litres of beer in 2023 (The Investor), and the country is the third-largest beer consumer in Asia after China and Japan (Asia Brewers Network). Lager accounts for roughly 95% of the market by revenue, so the yeast stream is large and uniform in type.
Brewing leaves about 2 to 4 kg of spent yeast for every hectolitre of beer (San Martin et al., AZTI). At Vietnam's output, that is in the order of 90,000 to 180,000 tonnes of fresh yeast a year, our own estimate. For an importer, scale matters: it means steady raw material and year-round supply.
| Indicator | Vietnam | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Beer production, 2023 | About 4.6 billion litres | The Investor |
| Beer consumption, 2024 | 4.42 billion litres, about 44 L per person | The Shiv |
| Rank in Asia by beer consumption | Third, after China and Japan | Asia Brewers Network |
| Spent yeast per hectolitre of beer | 2 to 4 kg | San Martin et al. |
