Organic agriculture: New door
Organic agriculture has opened a new door for Vietnamese agricultural products to the world in a context where farmers and businesses face many difficulties when global economic growth declines.
There are currently quite a few domestic organic products that are welcomed in the world market. The biggest move is that Thanh Thanh Cong Group (TTC) has given nearly 13,000 sugarcane farming households in the provinces of Tay Ninh, Dong Nai, Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Khanh Hoa, Gia Lai, Dak Lak… where they have houses. TTC’s machinery borrowed capital to produce organic sugarcane with a total outstanding loan of up to 1,000 billion VND. Currently, the sugar industry has just gone through a “bleak” period due to market cycles, but organic sugar is still bright. TTC’s entire organic sugar output is consumed by a large British enterprise with an export value 3 times that of normal sugar.
According to calculations, it takes farmers or businesses more than 3 years to improve water sources, soil, crops… to meet the standards of growing organic agricultural products. But the price to pay is quite reasonable because the market demand is still very large.

Moving forward to affirm its position as a provider of high-tech agricultural solutions on the basis of sustainable development, deeply participating in the global agricultural and commodity value chain.

On that foundation, TTC gradually builds the TTC brand as a “High-tech agricultural enterprise”, through integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into all operations. TTC is also highly dedicated to transforming the business model, from a purely agricultural production company to an integrated smart agricultural economic model, following the direction of comprehensive transformation.
