With the goal of becoming a pioneer enterprise in applying science and technology to production, contributing to promoting the socio-economic development of Quang Tri province, the company always takes science and technology and innovation as the foundation for development, so it has built a strong research-application-deployment ecosystem, gathering a team of highly skilled engineers and technical staff, proactively researching and improving production processes and technological equipment.
From 2007 to now, more than 1,000 technical innovations and improvements have been applied to production practices, improving productivity, saving costs, protecting the environment, contributing to the completion of production and business targets, bringing the company tens of billions of dong in benefits. The spirit of innovation at the company is not a slogan but a core value, imbued from the leadership to each engineer and worker. The ideas and innovations do not originate from dry theoretical research rooms, but from production practices, from cassava processing plants, rubber latex factories, rice factories... where each technical step has practical significance.
The project of treating wastewater from cassava starch production is a breakthrough solution, helping to reduce environmental pollution, winning a high prize at the Quang Tri Province Technical Innovation Contest. Success in treating wastewater from starch production not only helps reduce the environmental burden, but also significantly reduces treatment costs, increasing the competitiveness of starch products in the market.
Next is the invention of scrubbers, improvement of centrifuges - equipment that previously had to be imported from abroad, the company has proven its ability to localize technology, proactively produce equipment instead of depending on the outside. Some other topics have been effectively applied such as: Production of organic fertilizers from native microorganisms and livestock by-products; Production of biological pesticides from herbs; Stone trap system in the cassava starch production line.
These topics not only affirm the inherent capacity of science and technology but also symbolize the spirit of continuous innovation in all officers and employees of the company. The application of advanced technologies not only helps reduce production costs but also ensures the stability and uniformity of products.
The company has established a research and development (R&D) department with a team of experienced engineers and experts. This department is responsible for researching, improving production processes, and developing new products to suit market needs. Thanks to that, the company has launched many high-quality products that meet domestic and international standards. The company has established close cooperative relationships with research institutes and universities at home and abroad. This cooperation helps the company access the latest achievements in science and technology, while training and improving the professional qualifications of its staff.
The application of science and technology has helped the company increase labor productivity, reduce the rate of defective products, and improve product quality. This contributes to strengthening the company's reputation and brand in the market. The company's products are not only widely consumed domestically but also exported to many countries around the world .
One of the highlights of the company's operations is its close and sustainable relationship with more than 60,000 farming households. Not only a purchasing unit, the company also plays the role of a "technical midwife", guiding farmers to apply advanced farming methods, invest in high-quality seeds, organic fertilizers, sustainable farming processes and protect the environment. From there, it helps people improve productivity, product quality and stabilize output.
Key crops such as rubber, cassava, rice, acacia... are organized for large-scale production, with quality supervision according to the value chain. Thanks to that, each year, farmers earn over 1,000 billion VND, an impressive figure showing the company's leading role in developing commodity agriculture , creating sustainable livelihoods for people.
Along with technical innovation, the company also identifies digital transformation as the focus to enhance competitiveness. Since 2020, the company has built and implemented a digital transformation strategy with three pillars: Digitalizing production and business activities; Digitalizing raw material areas; Digitally connecting with the market and customers. Accordingly, applying ERP systems to manage supply chains, accounting, inventory, and human resources.
The entire production process at the factories is controlled by sensors and automatic monitoring software, helping to reduce losses and increase labor productivity. The company cooperates with farmers through a digital platform, using GIS maps to manage growing areas, update yields, pest and disease situations, and accurately forecast crops. Apply IoT technology to control soil moisture and save irrigation water.
Apply e-commerce to consume processed products and agricultural products. CRM system helps the company track customer feedback, thereby improving the quality of after-sales service and developing products according to actual needs. The results from digital transformation are very clear: labor productivity increases by 20-30%, production time is shortened, the rate of defective products is reduced, and reliability in financial and human resource management is improved.
Identifying the human factor as the deciding factor for success, there can be no innovation without creative people, the company always pays special attention to training and developing the team of engineers and technicians. Every year, over 200 technical staff are sent for training at technical centers and research institutes, domestically and internationally.
The policy of “sending to study and returning to work” helps attract young talents to serve long-term, creating a solid next generation. The process of evaluating scientific initiatives and fair and transparent rewards helps to recognize and spread individual efforts within the group. Many engineers of the company have become project leaders at the provincial and ministerial levels. In particular, there are technical workers who have not received formal training but through practical work have come up with highly effective improvements, been granted patents and honored as national creative workers.
The company identifies innovation as having no end point but a continuous journey. In the period 2025-2030, the company sets many major goals: Double the number of initiatives and improvements implemented each year. Invest in a high-tech agricultural processing technology research center with modern machinery. Develop deep processing technology for products such as cassava, organic rice, technical rubber... to create products with high added value to serve the export market.
Promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data in market forecasting and production management. In particular, the company has also planned to register intellectual property protection for typical inventions, creating a new step in commercializing innovation and affirming domestic intellectual property rights.
The application of science and technology in production has become the key to success of Quang Tri Trading Corporation. The achievements not only affirm the company's position in the market but also contribute to promoting the socio-economic development of Quang Tri province and the Central region. With the right development orientation and strong investment in science and technology, the company will continue to reap many successes in the future.
