Focused investment in modern technology and technical infrastructure, experienced workforce, efforts for products of high quality and safety, and stable markets are the foundation for Tri Duc Trading - Manufacturing - Service Ltd (Tri Duc Food) to assert its position in the food industry and move towards sustainable development.
Set up in 2000, Tri Duc Food is a leading processor of tropical fruits and agricultural products across Vietnam. Currently, the company specialises in processing agricultural products (fruits, vegetables and roots) and manufacturing whole fruits, processed fruit products and toppings for bakers, ice-cream makers and frozen fruit processors like Vinamilk and Kinh Do. Besides, to enhance operational efficiency and increase revenues, the firm exports its products to foreign markets through intermediaries. With relentless efforts for premium quality and product diversification, Tri Duc Food quickly becomes a trusted supplier of raw materials for processing companies and major suppliers in Vietnam and abroad.
Tri Duc Food has a 3,500 m2 processing factory in Cu Chi district, Ho Chi Minh City, where there is a bountiful supply of vegetables, roots, fruits, and agricultural products - its inputs. Presently, Tri Duc Food is famous for Sunfarm-branded fast-moving consumer goods. This brand name includes products made from organic and quality fruits and vegetables which feature safety, convenience and nutrition. By applying advanced processing technologies and capitalising on local agricultural produce, Tri Duc Food’s products not only effectively meet the domestic demand, but also make inroads into other countries.
Additionally, Tri Duc Food supplies toppings for moon-cake makers, and manufactures jams (ginger, pumpkin, coconut, lotus seed, etc.) and Lac Xuan-trademarked condensed juices accredited with HACCP and ISO 22000: 2005 quality standards.
Apart from coconut milk and jam, knowing the properties and functions of aloe vera, Tri Duc Food makes jelly from this plant, branded Sunfarm. With a desire to bring quality, new and delicious products to customers, the company has heavily invested into the production technology of Sunfarm aloe vera jelly from planting to final processing. As regards material supply, it supports farmers to cultivate sustainably and contributes to local economic development. The plant is grown during the period of the year with the most sun to maximise its benefits; soil meets Viet G.A.P standards for vegetable cultivation. Notably, all aloe vera jelly production processes are strictly controlled, particularly detoxify aloin and remove bitterness to ensure fresh - green - clean criteria.
To attain sustainable development, in addition to scaling up production and seek markets, Tri Duc Food also attaches special attention to protecting the environment and food safety and hygiene. Besides experienced employees, Tri Duc Food’s products are manufactured under ISO22000:2005 and ISO 22000:2007 clean and safe standards, and HACCP processes. As a result, its products meet all quality and safety requirements. The company has a high sense of responsibility for waste management, and actively applies measures to prevent pollution and environmental degradation.
Speaking of plans for entering the Japanese market, Director Hoang Thi Tam Ai said: "Japan is a fair but perfectionist market; thus, it is very difficult to penetrate this market successfully. But, in my opinion, hardships inspire determination to conquer challenge. I think we only need to keep our prestige and quality to penetrate the Japanese market easily."
Thus, to successfully penetrate the Japanese market, Tri Duc Food plans to build frozen food factories. The company applies strict production processes to ensure premium product quality. It also builds wastewater treatment systems to limit negative impact on the environment. Notably, Tri Duc Food invested to build six frozen storage facilities. The firm plans to make headway to the Japanese market in early 2013 with frozen aloe vera jelly. Ms Ai said: "With our painstaking preparations and intensive investments, we are confident in this lucrative market."
In the coming time, while maintaining traditional markets, Tri Duc Food will access new potential markets like Japan. The company will also proactively expand material supply sources, continuously improve product quality, optimise operating capacity of production systems, supply the market with best quality products, and become a trusted trade name.
Visionary leadership and a dedicated workforce will be the launch pad for Tri Duc Food to make great advances in the coming period.
