DTO - After more than 12 years of establishment and development, up to now, Nam Huy Dong Thap Company Limited (abbreviated as Nam Huy Dong Thap) (Hoa Tan commune, Chau Thanh district) has gradually affirmed its brand in domestic and foreign markets with dried fruit products such as lotus, sweet potato, jackfruit, banana... contributing to raising the value of local agricultural products.

Enhancing the value of local agricultural products

One day in early May, we visited Nam Huy Dong Thap, the production atmosphere was bustling with many export orders. At the beginning of the conversation, Mr. Huynh Van Hiep - the person who "built" the Nam Huy Dong Thap brand - shared about the development journey of the unit.

Mr. Hiep comes from a farming family, his parents gave him a piece of land to grow rice. Since 2005, the lotus growing movement began to "bloom" in his hometown of Hoa Tan, Chau Thanh district. Realizing that his family's economy was facing many difficulties, he decided to convert the entire rice growing area to lotus growing to improve economic efficiency. Over time, in addition to growing, Mr. Hiep also increased the value of the product through the preliminary processing of silk lotus in his hometown, expanding the purchase of lotus to neighboring areas, forming cooperatives to purchase and process silk lotus in Cao Lanh and Thap Muoi districts.

After a period of small-scale production, in 2012, Mr. Hiep found a solution to the problem of output of local agricultural products by establishing Nam Huy Dong Thap Company Limited. To make the products suitable for the tastes, Mr. Hiep boldly invested in a cold storage system and an advanced vacuum drying system. With lotus seeds carefully selected from lotus ponds in Dong Thap, the company launched a special dried lotus seed product, helping to preserve the long-term purity of lotus seeds, overcoming the situation of "good harvest, low price" or "good price, bad harvest".

In the early days of the company's establishment, Mr. Hiep made both silk lotus and dried lotus. The initial products did not have complete packaging, so they were mainly sold only in some markets in the province or in Ho Chi Minh City. To adapt to the market, Mr. Huynh Van Hiep researched and improved the packaging design under the brand name "Nam Huy Dong Thap" for dried fruit products and registered for exclusive protection. At the same time, he expanded the processing of other typical agricultural products such as jackfruit, banana, sweet potato...

With continuous efforts, up to now, each month, the unit consumes more than 300 tons of agricultural products of farmers in the province. At the same time, Nam Huy Dong Thap has created a sales system with more than 50 distributors across the country. Currently, the Nam Huy Dong Thap brand has more than 15 products trusted by domestic and foreign consumers. Nam Huy Dong Thap's dried fruit products always achieve high crispness and sponginess, especially still retaining the natural color and flavor of the fruit.

Mr. Huynh Van Hiep - Director of Nam Huy Dong Thap, shared: “To develop the production of dried fruit products, the unit always chooses fruit materials that are commonly grown in the district and province to contribute to the consumption of agricultural products for farmers. In the process of developing production, we constantly improve, perfect and enhance product quality, as well as services to best serve customers, considering customer opinions as the driving force to increasingly perfect our products”.

To promote dried fruit to more people and expand the product consumption market, Nam Huy Dong Thap put the product on the e-commerce platform. This is considered an effective solution and a trend that contributes to widely promoting the products.

Ms. Vo Phuong Thuy - Director of Dong Thap Department of Industry and Trade, commented: “In recent times, Nam Huy Dong Thap has been one of the pioneering enterprises of the province in the field of production and trading of dried fruits, effectively exploiting the specific advantages of Dong Thap's agricultural products. With the orientation of developing dried agricultural products from local raw materials such as lotus, jackfruit, banana, sweet potato... Nam Huy Dong Thap not only contributes to diversifying processed agricultural products but also plays an important role in supporting the consumption of fresh agricultural products, solving output for farmers, especially in times when the consumption market is difficult. The unit's dried fruit products meet the domestic market demand well and initially approach the export market, contributing to increasing the added value for the local agricultural sector...”.
