Hoa Sen Agricultural Production and Purchasing Cooperative in Nghia Duc Ward, Gia Nghia City ( Dak Nong ) specializes in producing tomatoes and melons. The cooperative's tomato and melon products are certified to VietGAP standards, so they have a stable output with a yield of 60 - 90 tons/year.

This is truly a huge stepping stone for the Cooperative in improving the quality of agricultural products and improving economic efficiency.
Currently, many production stages of the cooperative have applied modern machinery, especially for watering and fertilizing through advanced systems.
