Nguyen Duc Do is a student of the Agricultural Academy who is passionate about the conservation and development of medicinal plants. In 2014 - 2015, when he witnessed Chinese traders buying up and destroying yellow camellia trees in Vietnam in general and Tam Dao mountain area in particular, he was determined to do something. To preserve and develop this rare plant, along with breeding, Nguyen Duc Do has researched many products from yellow camellia.

After many years of research and breeding, in 2017, the young man Nguyen Duc Do built a medicinal herb garden with an area of ​​over 3 hectares. At the same time, he launched many products under the brand name Golden Tea Tam Dao (TĐ-Golden Teaviet) such as: Freeze-dried golden tea flowers, tea bags, golden tea leaves... Up to now, the brand name Golden Tea Tam Dao is no longer strange to many people and is very popular in the market. Not stopping there, Nguyen Duc Do is researching to continue to produce high-quality products from golden tea flowers, persistently nurturing the desire to bring the product far and wide, promoting it to international friends.

Mr. Nguyen Quoc Huy - Director of Tam Dao Mushroom Cooperative introduces products to partners.

After graduating from the College of Transport and trying his hand at a number of businesses in the province, Mr. Huy's life was quite stable. Not satisfied with what he had, in 2009, he decided to quit his job and return to his hometown to establish the Tam Dao Mushroom Cooperative. Initially, the Cooperative focused on producing oyster mushrooms and lingzhi mushrooms. After carefully studying the potential and strengths of the locality as well as the needs of the market, the Cooperative switched to growing Cordyceps. This is a type of mushroom with rare genetic resources, giving high economic value.

In order for the Cooperative's production activities to develop in a sustainable direction, Mr. Huy has closely followed the policies of the Party and the State, especially the policies and orientations of the province and localities. Accordingly, the Cooperative actively participates in industrial promotion programs and OCOP programs. Up to now, there have been 11 products achieving 3-star and 4-star OCOP, including fresh and dried cordyceps, tea and capsules. In addition, the Cooperative's freeze-dried cordyceps mushroom product has been certified as a typical rural industrial product of the Northern region in 2024.

In particular, with the circular agricultural model "Mulberry - silk - Cordyceps", Tam Dao Mushroom Cooperative has been honored and awarded the "Cooperative Star 2025" by the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance. Mr. Huy shared: The "Cooperative Star 2025" award is a testament to the different and sustainable direction of a collective of innovative farmers who dare to think and dare to do. With the circular agricultural model combining mulberry - silk - Cordyceps, Tam Dao Mushroom Cooperative not only creates livelihoods for hundreds of farming households but also contributes to promoting the value chain of agricultural products with high scientific and technological content.
