 With such significance, since early 2010 Unifarm has signed a contract with Sade & Vegh Company, one of Israel’s leading clean vegetable manufacturers to transfer cultivation technology and technique.

 Pham Quoc Liem, general director of Unifarm said that after nearly two years of technological transfer, experimental cultivation and production on various scales, Unifarm’s technical staff have grasped Israel’s cultivation techniques.

After a short time, Unifarm has offered Unifarm-branded clean vegetable products for domestic customers.

 Towards export

 Upholding its achievements done in application of high technologies into agricultural production, since 2012, Unifarm has aimed at cultivating and purchasing agricultural materials for export.

 This development orientation has been highly appreciated by Cofidec through a  cooperation agreement just signed between the two side on cultivating and purchasing agricultural materials for export at the An Thai hi-tech agriculture area.

 Under the agreement, Unifarm will cultivate agricultural products such as eggplant, okra…and provide Cofidec with them for exporting to Japan.

 Le Thanh Liem, director of Cofidec said that this cooperation will help Cofidec ensure its production materials for export with the average output of 1,500 tons of farm produce annually. Cofidec’s annual output will be also raised to 3,000 tons of farm produce in the coming time.
