VFC work with 3 organizations for agricultural ecosystem

On August 29, 2025, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Fumigation Joint Stock Company (VFC), a member of the PAN Group, officially signed a cooperation agreement with the Southern Fruit Research Institute (SOFRI), the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center, and the Vinaseed Research Institute (VRI). The agreement focuses on “Research and transfer of technological advances in agricultural production under the orientation of Efficiency – Green – Sustainability.”

The signing ceremony marks an important milestone in VFC’s development strategy, opening up a model of public–private–scientific cooperation among the parties, with the goal of building a comprehensive agricultural ecosystem for Vietnam.

Accordingly, VFC will cooperate with VRI on the breeding of new crop varieties, combined with plant protection solutions, nutrition, and raw material areas to form a closed value chain.

VFC will work with SOFRI on research, development, and commercialization of biological products, as well as building technical solutions in the production of fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

VFC will collaborate with the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center on the application of biotechnology, genetic technology, microbiology, and artificial intelligence to develop high-tech agriculture.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Truong Cong Cu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of VFC, said:“Today’s event is not just a signing ceremony, but the beginning of a strategic cooperation journey, where knowledge and resources are connected to advance Vietnamese agriculture towards modernization – efficiency – greenness – and sustainability. VFC is committed to long-term companionship, ensuring implementation resources, transparent benefits, and the rapid transfer of research results into practice, creating tangible value for farmers.”

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tra My, CEO of PAN Group, Chairwoman of Vinaseed Group, and Chairwoman of the Vinaseed Research Institute (VRI), shared:“People often say ‘No business, no wealth’, but I prefer ‘No technology, no prosperity’. Without technology, it is difficult to succeed; without cooperation, it is also difficult to succeed. The cooperation event between the Vinaseed Research Institute (VRI) and VFC, between VFC and the Southern Fruit Research Institute, and the Ho Chi Minh City Biotechnology Center marks an important milestone in the strategy of PAN Group, Vinaseed, and VFC.”

Ms. Nguyen Thi Tra My affirmed: “We are committed to accompanying all research institutes, scientific organizations, leaders, especially teachers and domestic scientists, to create the best seed varieties that adapt to climate change, bringing green and sustainable solutions for Vietnamese farmers and agriculture. Farmers will be the first to benefit from the results of this cooperation. The signed agreements will be turned into concrete actions and results, reflected in the fields, orchards, and markets. When farmers sow seeds, they have faith in a bountiful harvest; when we sow the seeds of cooperation, we too can be confident in a golden harvest—a harvest of solidarity, cooperation, a harvest of scientific knowledge, and a harvest that elevates Vietnamese agriculture into a green and sustainable sector.”

With nearly 50 years of experience in agrochemicals, fumigation, and pest control, VFC is expanding its role from a product supplier into a pioneer of innovative agricultural solutions. This cooperation signing is a step forward in realizing VFC’s vision, contributing to enhancing the position of Vietnamese agricultural products in the international market.
