Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops Ecovital EM, a biological water treatment for aquaculture ponds
Uneaten feed, organic waste and accumulated bottom sludge can steadily degrade water quality
in aquaculture ponds, releasing toxic gases and raising the risk of disease. Vietnam Food Joint
Stock Company (VNF) has developed Ecovital EM, a Bacillus spp. biological product that breaks
down organic matter quickly, stabilises pond water and supports a more sustainable farming
model. Used as a biological water treatment for aquaculture, Ecovital EM helps farmers keep
water conditions steady while limiting waste build-up in the pond.
Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan as a natural preservative for pet food
Fresh, raw and wet foods lose quality fast as microorganisms, mould and oxidation attack their colour, smell, texture and shelf life. From Vietnamese shrimp by-products, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) develops chitosan — a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin — as a preservation solution for raw, fresh and wet pet food. In VNF trials, chitosan sharply reduced microbial and mould counts and helped extend shelf life, giving pet-food makers a way to protect quality while reducing their reliance on synthetic additives.
Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) joins EU-funded initiative to advance the circular economy in the shrimp, rice and coffee industries
Shrimp, rice and coffee are among Vietnam's most important agricultural exports, yet each faces rising
pressure over emissions, resource use and tougher sustainability requirements from export markets.
Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to help build a
circular economy in the shrimp industry and across the rice and coffee value chains, contributing its research
and processing strength in shrimp by-product valorization. The move aims to turn by-products into highervalue inputs, reduce emissions and expand circular economy models in the Mekong Delta and the Central
Highlands.
Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) shares its circular economy from shrimp by-products with the next generation of talent
A nation’s growth strategy works best when it builds on core strengths and nurtures the people who will carry it forward. Acting on this belief, Vietnam Food Joint Stock Company (VNF) welcomed a group of interns from Board IV (the Private Economic Development Research Board) and shared how its research turns shrimp by-products into valuable inputs — a practical model of the circular economy from shrimp by-products. The visit showed young talent that innovation need not start from something grand; it can begin by re-examining the resources already at hand.
