Tahara, an agricultural attache at the Japanese Consulate-General in Ho Chi Minh City, stated clearly that there is demand for Vietnamese products meeting environmental and green standards. For Vietnamese products, which rose to the fourth-largest supplier country in 2025, we interpret by item the traceability and environmental proof that will be asked for next. -
Pepper for the EU faces 565 residue items: the upstream design that Lam Dong's 986 organic hectares passed
Black pepper for the EU faces a wall of 565 pesticide-residue items. The Hoang Nguyen cooperative in Lam Dong has obtained organic (USDA, EU, JAS) certification on 195.6 of its 986 hectares and exports from them. A JAS-compliant growing region becomes, for Japanese sourcing, a raw material that does not get stopped at inspection. -
BioMar's Vietnam plant earns its first ASC feed certification among its Asia bases: proof in seafood sourcing starts with the feed
The major feed company BioMar has obtained its first ASC feed certification among its Asia bases, at a joint-venture plant in Vinh Long province, Vietnam. We read how an international certification at the upstream of feed works as proof of traceability in sourcing shrimp and fish to Japan. -

A Vietnamese bioengineer who quit a technical job in the south grows oyster mushrooms in Hue using acacia sawdust as the substrate. 5,000 bags per cycle, with monthly sales of 30 to 40 million dong. We read it from a sourcing perspective, as dried and powdered forms could become OEM ingredients for Japanese food makers. -
Kona Bay's shrimp seed Balance Pro: upstream quality improvement shapes shrimp supply to Japan
The major seed company Kona Bay has introduced its non-ablation line Balance Pro in Vietnam. We lay out the facts—SPF, a 70–80% survival rate, and a field trial in Phan Rang—and explain how seed improvement works for the stability of shrimp supply to Japan. -
Seaweed rafts in shrimp ponds: combining water purification with 60 million dong a year in side income
A low-carbon model that floats 40–50 seaweed rafts in Vietnamese shrimp ponds, taking in nitrogen to improve water quality while earning 50–60 million dong a year in side income. We interpret the mechanism that lowers reliance on antibiotics and its meaning for ESG sourcing to Japan. -
On salt-damaged land in Can Tho, 180 households take up shrimp-rice farming, making it a side-income source across 250 hectares
In the Luong Tam area of Can Tho City, 180 households and 250 hectares are taking up tom-lua (shrimp-rice farming) using paddy fields. We interpret this low-input model that turns salt-damaged land into a resource, and its meaning for Japanese premium sourcing. -

A shrimp cooperative in Cam Pha, Quang Ninh province, has demonstrated 7 to 9 cycles a year and 90-day shipment through greenhouse farming across 12 ponds on 8 ha. We unpack what it means for a northern growing area to join the Mekong-Delta-dominated sourcing of shrimp for Japan. -
A Ca Mau shrimp farmer turns a profit three crops in a row with low-density TLSS—about 18 million yen a year
A shrimp farmer in Ca Mau province achieved three consecutive profitable crops with a low-density, water-treatment-focused TLSS model, reaching about 3 billion dong (about 18 million yen) a year. We interpret a yardstick for stable supply that Japanese shrimp sourcing should look at. -
