PT Gold Coin Indonesia team members celebrate the first shipment of livestock feeds to Timor-Leste
Aboitiz Foods subsidiary PT Gold Coin Indonesia (Gold Coin), a trusted name in animal nutrition across Southeast Asia, has officially begun exporting to Timor-Leste. This marks an important step forward in the company’s ongoing efforts to serve more communities across the region with quality animal feed and reliable technical support.
Gold Coin held initial discussions with partners in Timor-Leste in late 2024, which paved the way for the first shipments of customized animal feed to reach the city of Dili in July.
The company will begin by supplying swine and poultry feeds, carefully formulated to meet the nutritional needs of livestock in Timor-Leste and aligned with local regulatory requirements. Distribution will be carried out through two trusted local trading partners.
Beyond products, Gold Coin will also offer quarterly seminars in collaboration with the Market Development Facility (MDF), an Australian Government-funded initiative that promotes sustainable economic development across the Indo-Pacific. These sessions aim to provide technical support and share best practices with local farmers and producers.
“This expansion into Timor-Leste reflects our steady commitment to nourishing growth across Asia,” said Siow Wee Lee, First Vice President & Country Director of Gold Coin Indonesia. “We see this as a meaningful opportunity to support local agricultural development by sharing both quality nutrition and technical expertise. Our team is focused on building partnerships that can grow sustainably over time.”
This milestone reinforces Gold Coin’s partnership-driven approach to regional growth—anchored in deep market understanding and on-ground support. Gold Coin Malaysia also contributes to this broader effort, exporting aquafeeds to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Oman, as well as to other Asian countries such as Sri Lanka, Brunei, and Singapore.
As part of Aboitiz Foods, this move contributes to the group’s broader purpose of sustainably feeding Asia’s growth from mill to meal. Through expansions like this, we bring our vision to life; supporting farmers, strengthening food systems, and creating long-term value for communities across the region.
