Potential for growing organic vegetables for export in Van Son highlands

We visited the V-Organic Agricultural Cooperative (Cooperative) in Van Son Commune, at a time when the Cooperative was focusing on harvesting tomatoes in the main season. Ms. Can Thi Thuy Trang, Chairwoman of the Cooperative Board of Directors, said: “With an area of nearly 3 hectares of tomatoes grown in greenhouses, the Cooperative has been promoting the effectiveness of the high-tech agricultural model”.

In previous years, the cooperative exported many types of vegetables to the Korean market and received high praise. Currently, taking advantage of the off-season, the cooperative focuses on producing tomatoes to supply large supermarkets in Hanoi . Every day, V-Organic Cooperative supplies the market with more than 200 kg of high-quality tomatoes, meeting the needs of consumers in the capital.

In 2025, the cooperative plans to expand the organic vegetable growing area to nearly 10 hectares. This will not only help the cooperative increase its production scale but also create opportunities to connect with local households. Through product consumption and technical support, the cooperative is building a sustainable chain of links, helping people feel secure in production. This model creates stable jobs for 10 local workers, with an income of over 5 million VND/person/month, contributing to improving the lives of people in mountainous areas.

V-Organic Organic Agricultural Cooperative in Van Son commune creates jobs and stable income for workers.

In recent years, the organic agricultural cooperative model has proven its important role in local socio -economic development. The cooperative has become a bridge between farmers and the consumer market, helping products have stable output and people access advanced science and technology. With these advantages, V-Organic Organic Agricultural Cooperative started operating in July 2021, with 7 members, developing in the direction of a chain link. The cooperative is committed to producing vegetables and tubers according to organic standards, safe, for the health of consumers and environmentally friendly. This is a typical model of clean agricultural production, not only creating jobs but also increasing income for local people.

Ms. Bui Thi Thanh, a worker in Chien hamlet, Van Son commune, shared: "I have worked here for more than 3 years. The cooperative creates jobs and regular income, helping my family have more stable conditions. Working in an organic vegetable production environment, I feel very secure because I do not have to come into contact with toxic chemicals. Moreover, I also learned farming techniques, a lot of valuable knowledge that I applied right in my home garden and became a vegetable growing household for the cooperative."

Ms. Bui Thi Hien - Khao hamlet, Van Son commune said: When joining the cooperative, we no longer have to worry about finding individual consumption markets. The cooperative plays an important role as a bridge, signing contracts to consume products with supermarkets, clean food store chains and exports. Thanks to that, we have stable output, guaranteed prices and are not forced to lower prices by traders. Organic vegetable products also have much higher economic value than conventional vegetables, helping to significantly increase income for people. Members have the opportunity to exchange and learn from each other to improve skills and productivity. When there are risks of weather and disease, the cooperative will have support policies to help members overcome difficulties, minimizing damage to each household. The cooperative standardizes production processes, ensures the quality of vegetables according to organic standards and carries out procedures for products to be certified. Products with brand and reputation in the market, easy access to high-end distribution channels, expanding export opportunities, bringing higher economic value.

Ms. Trang added: With the goal of producing clean and safe agricultural products, the cooperatives always strictly adhere to the organic production process, from seed selection, care to harvesting and processing. The cooperative's products not only meet the increasing market demand for quality and safety but also contribute to environmental protection, creating a sustainable agricultural production in the Van Son mountain area.
