Organic farming

The cooperative Song Vu in Cau Dat, Da Lat, is breaking away from reliance on green beans and competing on quality through organic conversion and deeper processing. We lay out the points Japanese specialty roasters will want to check.

Ho Chi Minh City's Trang Linh established 35 hectares of noni production on the volcanic-ash soil of the former Xuyen Moc. Expecting USDA organic certification in August 2026, it is heading for South Korean and US exports. We read its design leaning toward processing across seven product lines, and the niche position it holds for Japanese functional-ingredient sourcing.

A farmer near Ho Chi Minh City who turned paddy of acid-sulfate soil, where rice would not grow, into a VietGAP-certified, OCOP three-star guava orchard. We read a production model with annual sales of several hundred million dong, and the sourcing route for Vietnamese guava that Japanese buyers should keep in mind.

In Son Ray, Dong Nai province, Vietnam, more than 100 households operate an organic-pepper estate of about 200 hectares. We interpret the move to target European exports through automatic irrigation, net collection, and biological pest control, and its implications for Japanese raw-material buyers.

A USDA organic-rice growing area advancing in Dong Phu on the outskirts of Hanoi. Through a five-party partnership originating with the University of Tokyo's Pamci, farmers' income has nearly doubled and the area has expanded to 65 hectares. We interpret it from the perspective of sourcing organic rice to Japan.
