AIG makes strategic investment in GC Food, boosting Vietnam's agricultural export potential

(Dan Tri) - In early August, Asia Ingredients Group (AIG) became a strategic partner of GC Food Joint Stock Company (GC Food), continuing to affirm AIG's strong development, contributing to promoting the export potential of Vietnamese agricultural products globally.

Strongly develop high quality product chain from Vietnamese agricultural products

According to the cooperation agreement between AIG and GC Food announced, AIG has become a strategic partner with an ownership ratio of over 52.8% of the charter capital of GC Food - the leading aloe vera and coconut jelly producer in Vietnam. This is a strategic step of AIG to affirm AIG's position in the field of manufacturing deeply processed agricultural products, while realizing the commitment to make Vietnam become the world's leading center for processing and exporting high-quality agricultural products.

As a leading corporation in the production and deep processing of Vietnamese agricultural products supplying the world, under the leadership of Mr. Nguyen Thien Truc - founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the corporation - AIG strives to invest and develop a diverse ecosystem of deeply processed agricultural products, spread across the fertile agricultural regions of Vietnam.

AIG is currently the market leader in coconut products, such as: Vico Fresh canned coconut water, dried coconut meat, coconut milk powder, coconut milk, etc. produced by Asia Coconut Processing Joint Stock Company (ACP). At the same time, AIG is famous for supplying a variety of puree juice products, fresh fruit juices and IQF frozen fruits produced by Mekong Delta Gourmet Company (MDG). AIG also invests in the production of essential oils and natural aromatics from endemic ingredients such as cinnamon, star anise, and basil exploited by Asia Specialty Ingredients Company (ASI) in Hung Yen . In addition, AIG's Asia Hoa Son Joint Stock Company (AHS) specializes in the production and processing of cassava products, especially cassava starch, dried cassava pulp and glucose syrup in Nghe An.

Meanwhile, GC Food is a leading enterprise in the field of processing aloe vera and coconut jelly as well as other key agricultural products. Focusing on clean agriculture, GC Food has built a stable raw material area and strictly controlled the production process to create quality, safe products to meet the increasing demands of the market.

With the similar goals of effectively exploiting the potential of Vietnamese agricultural products and developing high-quality products for the community, AIG's investment in GC Food will contribute to increasing the value of Vietnamese agricultural products. The combination of GC Food - a typical Vietnamese aloe vera producer and AIG's leading position in the field of production and deep processing of Vietnamese agricultural products will help optimize the value chain, diversify products, and expand opportunities for Vietnamese agricultural products to reach the international market.

In addition, with GC Food's large, closed production process and scale, AIG continues to diversify its raw material areas and its portfolio of high-quality agricultural products typical of Vietnam. This helps AIG continue to promote sustainable agricultural development and contribute to stabilizing jobs for hundreds of farming households, improving the lives of local people.

Pioneer in increasing the value of Vietnamese agricultural products globally

Global demand for agricultural products is shifting strongly towards deeply processed, clean and sustainable products. OECD-FAO forecasts show that global agricultural consumption will increase by about 13% by 2034. At the same time, retail chains and FDI enterprises prioritize cooperation with suppliers with standard raw material areas, applying digital technology and transparency in quality management. This is a great opportunity and challenge for Vietnamese enterprises to participate in the global agricultural market.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in the first 7 months of 2025, the export turnover of agricultural products continued to lead the agricultural - forestry - fishery group with a value of 21.49 billion USD, up 17% over the same period last year. Vietnam is gradually becoming an influential agricultural exporter in the world market thanks to its advantages in natural conditions, government support policies and business development efforts.

Asia Ingredient Group (AIG) is currently one of the pioneering enterprises investing in exploiting and developing the agricultural potential of Vietnam. With a closed ecosystem from developing raw material areas, product research, to processing and distribution, AIG develops agricultural production and processing towards high added value, moving towards building a national agricultural brand with value, identity and global competitiveness.

AIG continuously invests in building a modern processing plant system that meets international standards ISO 9001:2015, HACCP, FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, SQF, IFS, HALAL... to develop a variety of refined products that meet international standards from Vietnamese agricultural products, serving high-end markets such as the EU, US, Japan, and Korea.

In particular, AIG focuses on building a research center with a team of leading experts to create, develop and diversify high value-added products from agricultural products in line with market trends, as well as providing individual products for each partner and customer. At the same time, with efforts to invest in developing clean raw material areas, AIG promotes an effective business cooperation model in the export chain, meeting the market's sustainable consumption trends.

At the same time, AIG also actively promotes and strengthens trade promotion activities, bringing deeply processed products from Vietnamese agricultural products into the global supply chain through major food fairs and exhibitions in the world such as Anuga Food Fair (Germany), Foodex Japan (Japan), Thaifex Anuga Asia (Thailand), SIAL Shanghai (China), Seoul Food (Korea)... Currently, AIG's ecosystem of deeply processed products from Vietnamese agricultural products is present in more than 50 countries and territories worldwide.

Faced with increasingly strong changes in the global market, Asia Ingredient Group (AIG) is demonstrating that Vietnamese enterprises can master the supply chain, build a national food brand from the rich potential of agricultural products and the support of the government combined with the efforts of enterprises.

Investing in GC Food is a strategic step, continuing to affirm AIG's strong development and the group's commitment to contributing to raising the position of Vietnamese agricultural products in the world market.
