On December 9, 2025, Vietnam Food (VNF) and the Food Industries Research Institute (FIRI) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), opening a new chapter of strategic collaboration. By uniting scientific excellence with industrial innovation, we share one ambition: to deliver more nutritious, flavorful, and sustainable food to consumers in Vietnam — and worldwide.
Leading Innovation – Turning Vision into RealityBuilt on a long-term partnership and the complementary strengths of both organizations, this collaboration lays a strong foundation for the future:
FIRI: A leading research powerhouse in food science and technology, advancing enzyme technology, fermentation, and applied probiotics — accelerating scientific progress in Vietnam’s food industry. VNF: A leading firm in transforming shrimp co-products into high-quality, nutrient-rich ingredients with broad applications across food, nutrition, and beyond — reducing waste and elevating the value of one of Vietnam’s most important seafood sectors.
Co-Creating the Next Generation of Sustainable Food SolutionsThrough this partnership, we are advancing ingredient innovation that benefits both people and the planet:
Premium Proteins/Peptides: Designed for purity, taste, and targeted health benefits to support modern nutrition needs. Functional Ingredients & Biomaterials from Chitosan: Enabling sustainable breakthroughs such as edible coatings and bio-packaging — minimizing both food and plastic waste.
Leadership Toward a More Sustainable FutureBy unlocking hidden value within natural resources, we are transforming what was once overlooked into future-ready solutions — advancing a circular economy and shaping healthier, more responsible food systems for generations to come.
We extend our sincere appreciation to FIRI for their trust and partnership. Together, we are strengthening Vietnam’s position in the global food innovation landscape — shaping a smarter, stronger, and more sustainable future for food, in Vietnam and beyond..
