A trial farm under the province's agricultural extension center has planted more than 300 trees on about 2.7 hectares, with 70 to 100 fruits per tree per year and, per fruit, 250... -
Returning forest to the coffee field raises the unit price: a demonstration of Quang Tri Arabica
What comes to mind at the words "Vietnamese coffee" is probably the mass-produced Robusta that underpins canned and instant coffee. Outside that conventional image, Arabica farmers in the mountains of Quang Tri province in central Vietnam are deliberately switching to a cultivation that "returns forest" to the field. A Vietnamese agriculture-specialist med... -
Don't fix the salt: Ca Mau's salt-tolerant farming gives rise to the business opportunity of "plant salt"
In Ca Mau province at Vietnam's southernmost tip, a 31-year-old who abandoned an engineering job in Ho Chi Minh City is getting "farming that only works on salt-damaged land" off the ground. What Lam Quoc Nhut grows is a salt-tolerant plant that grows wild on the embankments of shrimp ponds. Processed products such as the "plant salt" extracted from it... -
Vietnam's first national standard for marine aquaculture, a move to break down the walls of insurance and financing
Vietnam will draw up its first industrial marine-aquaculture standard in 2026-27. The aim is to systematize HDPE cages and site surveys so that insurance and financing become possible. We read the practical implications for Japanese seafood buyers and investors. -
Feed giant Greenfeed trades pigs online, breaking dependence on middlemen
Greenfeed, Vietnam's fourth-largest feed and pig-farming company, has launched G-Link, an online trading platform for market hogs. We interpret how it will change live-animal trading left to market prices, through to its implications for Japanese meat sourcing. -
The pond where grass carp got "promoted": how Bac Ninh's freshwater-fish DX makes money
A farmer in Bac Ninh province introduced automatic feeding and aeration to grass-carp farming, reaching 2.1 kg per fish, a yield of 28.5 tonnes/ha, and 20% higher profit in eight months. We interpret where Vietnam's freshwater-fish DX stands and its implications for Japanese sourcing. -
A European fish lives at the headwaters: the real picture of the Krong No River sturgeon-producing area
Sturgeon raised in the Krong No River in Lam Dong province. We interpret, from a Japanese sourcing perspective, how this cold-water-fish producing area—which grew about 57-fold from 2007 to 2023 to become sixth in the world—makes money, and the real picture of a kind of farming that protects the forest and water sources. -
From wild-caught squid to farming: how Co To's 210 ha changes the conventional wisdom of sourcing
About 210 ha of offshore aquaculture has started in the Co To special zone of Quang Ninh province. We unpack this project, which takes on the industrial farming of squid that had relied almost entirely on wild catch, from the perspective of Japanese seafood sourcing. -
The standardization of Dong Thap fruit, with region codes brought down to the "farmer level"
Dong Thap province, Vietnam's largest fruit-growing area, is advancing standardization through more than 2,700 cultivation-plot codes and the linking of more than 130 agricultural cooperatives. A 28-household durian cooperative manages cadmium on its own. We lay out the on-the-ground changes that Japanese importers should note. -
An electrician rebuilds through frog farming; Nghe An province's 70 tanks show the design of small-scale livestock
A former electrician who lost 100 million dong in eel farming has switched to frog farming in 70 tanks on 1,500 square meters in Nghe An province. We unpack the design that cycles every four months, along with the market price of Vietnamese edible frogs and the possibility of sourcing for Japan.
