The group’s chairwoman Thai Huong said that TH Group will continue its organic agricultural production with more projects in Vietnam and abroad.

“We will make more contributions to the country’s organic agricultural development for the sake and health of the people,” she told Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc who chaired the conference.

Over the past few years, TH Group has made two big breakthroughs which have driven the group to the brand name under the “For the health of consumers” principal. This has contributed to helping Huong to soon bring Vietnamese organic and fresh milk to the world.

Since 2008, TH Group has also been operating a $1.2 billion high-tech concentrated dairy and fresh milk production project in the central province of Nghe An’s Nghia Dan district. This project has made the first breakthrough in the domestic milk industry by using state-of-the-art technology for grass cultivation and raising dairy cows.

The second breakthrough is the group’s leadership in driving the Vietnamese milk sector to an organic path where fresh, safe, and organic foodstuff products are produced, with a mindset of “creating a safe and organic foodstuff ecosystem” and “becoming a good housewife for the community.”

Since the project’s inception in 2008, under Thai Huong’s leadership, TH Group has made great contributions to shifting consumption habits away from reconstituted milk to fresh milk.

At the Global Summit of Women organised in Japan in May 2017, while talking about the beginning of her projects, Thai Huong told thousands of international CEOs that, “One night in 2008 I was watching TV and saw a Melamine-contamination scandal, which could harm the health of millions of children. I was shocked by the sheer enormity of the potential damage. In the next morning, I gathered all members of my company’s management board for a meeting. We decided that we would produce fresh milk right in our homeland then and there.”

The decision has given birth to the $1.2-billion high-tech concentrated dairy and fresh milk production project in Nghe An.

At present, the project’s first stage, worth $500 million, has been completed, with a total number of 45,000 dairy cows and a total land area of 8,100 hectares.

After reaping success after success with the high-quality TH true MILK products, Thai Huong said that Vietnamese people should be able to enjoy the safest and freshest things, as people from Germany, the US, and Japan do.

Then Thai Huong started focusing on organic production. From late 2015 to May 2017, TH Group obtained high-profile organic certificates for its organic cow farm, with more than 1,000 animals and the whole production chain.

In August 2017, TH Group debuted its TH true MILK organic and fresh milk product. One month later, the product won the award of “The most brilliant new product” at the Moscow International Foodstuff Exhibition in Russia.

In addition, TH Group has also been concentrating on producing safe vegetables and herbs in Nghia Dan district, with products branded FVF and TH true Herbal already on the market.
