Hoa Phat has also studied to invest into some other Australia beef farms in Quang Binh, Dong Nai, and Phu Tho Provinces. The raising process is closely controlled. Each of them is fitted with a health monitoring chip and a nutritional regimen to ensure that all beefs supplied to the market are of the highest quality.

Chairwoman of the National Assembly Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan highly valued big enterprises like Hoa Phat in investing into hi-tech agriculture to improve value of Viet Nam’s agricultural products.

“Hoa Phat should invest into value chain. You have already had a good raising model but it is necessary to consider distribution and development of the brandname with a clear label of origin, increasing the peace of mind for consumers when using high quality food. I wish you further development,” Ms Ngan said.
