Clean specialties brighten the market

(ĐN)- Dong Nai’s agriculture sector is scaling up safe and organic production models to meet growing consumer demand ahead of Tet 2025.

Vice Secretary and National Assembly delegate Quan Minh Cuong recently visited the launch of a clean-produce store in Thong Nhat district, underscoring local leaders’ focus on quality standards.

Deputy Secretary Quan Minh Cuong of the provincial Party Committee (L) visits the newly launched Nong San Viet (Vietnamese Farm Produce) store in Thong Nhat district.

Among standout initiatives, Tam Minh Quang cooperative in Vinh Cuu district manages over 35 hectares, including 15 certified organic, offering fresh produce such as pomelo, apple, guava, papaya, banana, and rice. In the Tet month alone, exports include 5–7 tons of guava and around 2 tons of apple, with home delivery and placement in urban clean-food chains.

Meanwhile, Doc Mo Farm Cooperative diversifies its supply with organic meat—pork, poultry, goat—as well as fresh vegetables, fruit, pepper, and rice, delivered weekly through fresh produce baskets. Similarly, Long Khanh’s Long Khanh Free‑Range Chicken Stall raises 400,000 herbal‑fed bantam chickens, ducks, and eggs. These products are vacuum‑packed, labeled, and sold online, reflecting extended rearing periods and natural herbal feed for premium quality.

Tourist‑oriented operators also join in. Bach Hop agro‑forestry cooperative markets premium products like wild‑forest coffee and honey. Its Robusta coffee is hand‑picked, minimally processed, and roasted without additives. Uniquely, it offers honey harvested from tiny “DU” bees, which forage on small wildflowers, producing high‑potency medicinal honey that appeals as a luxury Tet gift.

Processing also adds value. Doc Mo Farm invested in modern equipment to offer organic sausages, smoked meats, herbal teas, dried fruit candies, coconut and ginger drinks.

Thong Nhat district leads in clean agriculture, partnering with Que Lam Group to cultivate green-skinned oranges, durian, mangosteen, and raise pigs under the “five‑no” organic standard: no herbicides, preservatives, chemical pesticides, toxic residues, or growth stimulants.

Notably, Thong Nhat’s Farmers’ Union Cooperative recently launched the Vietnamsan store in Dau Giay town. The outlet stocks local organic meat, eggs, rice and vegetables, along with OCOP-certified specialties from across Dong Nai and beyond—offering a convenient Tet shopping destination.
