Developing clean vegetable production through a closed-loop supply chain.

Faced with the increasing demand for safe food, many farmers in Dong Nai have shifted towards growing clean, organic vegetables in greenhouses and applying hydroponic technology.

Mr. Dang Van Phi's hydroponic vegetable garden (in Tan An commune) is always lush and provides a stable income.

In addition to focusing on product quality, these models are also gradually linking with purchasing businesses to create stable outlets, aiming for green and sustainable agricultural development.

Focus on growing clean vegetables.

Visiting the hydroponic vegetable garden of Mr. Dang Van Phi (62 years old, owner of a hydroponic vegetable farming facility in Tan An commune), one can easily feel the refreshing green space with uniformly growing vegetable beds in a modern greenhouse system. After about two years of operation, Mr. Phi's hydroponic vegetable farming model has gradually stabilized and brought positive economic results.

Mr. Phi said: "Previously, my family used to grow bananas, but the results weren't very good. During my research, I realized the growing demand for clean vegetables, so I decided to switch to hydroponic vegetable farming with the hope of creating a safe food source for consumers."

According to Mr. Phi, what he appreciates most about this model is its focus on green and clean agriculture, and its rejection of chemicals. The entire vegetable growing area uses biological products to prevent pests and diseases. Thanks to being grown in greenhouses, pests and diseases are significantly reduced, and the area is less affected by weather conditions.

"Every meal needs green vegetables, so the demand is always high. If invested in the right direction, the return on investment can be much faster than with many other crops. Therefore, I chose organic vegetables and found that I am on the right track, fulfilling the initial meaning of investing in the development of organic vegetables," Mr. Phi shared.

In the early days of growing hydroponic vegetables, Mr. Phi's family faced many difficulties due to lack of experience, insufficient capital, and unstable product outlets. After researching, learning techniques, and receiving support from various organizations, his family's clean vegetable products gradually gained market acceptance.
