"Awakening" the value of indigenous medicinal plants.

Cao Duong commune in Phu Tho province has long been considered the "cradle" of traditional Vietnamese medicine, with many valuable herbs growing there, especially black sesame and milk thistle. Despite possessing great potential, these indigenous medicinal plants have not been fully realized due to a lack of planning from cultivation and processing to product consumption, and a lack of investment in modern technology. Based on this reality, in 2021, Tuyet Nhi Cooperative was established, applying scientific and technical technology to deeply process herbal extracts from black sesame, milk thistle, and several other valuable indigenous medicinal plants.

The difference is that the cooperative uses only fresh ingredients, without drying or preservatives, in order to retain the maximum amount of valuable active ingredients in the medicinal herbs. To achieve this, Tuyet Nhi Cooperative has invested in modern machinery and equipment and applied a quality management process according to HACCP standards. The entire process from harvesting, sorting, extraction to packaging is strictly controlled, ensuring food safety and traceability.

Currently, the cooperative's black sesame extract and milk thistle extract products have been recognized as OCOP 4-star at the provincial level, affirming their quality and reputation in the market. This also creates jobs for hundreds of unemployed agricultural workers and families growing medicinal herbs, contributing to improved income and sustainable poverty alleviation for local people.

The products of Tuyet Nhi Cooperative are displayed and introduced at many major events and trade fairs nationwide.

Thanks to digital transformation, Tuyet Nhi Cooperative's products have reached consumers in provinces and cities across the country.
