CEO of bio-fertilizer producer Nurture Growth Can Nguyen said his firm has operated in Vietnam over the past 2-3 years, testing bio-fertilizer in farms in provinces like Thai Binh and Nam Dinh.

Vietnam has many great fruits but has yet to be able to bring the fruits to foreign markets due to food safety standard issues, said Can Nguyen. One of the reasons behind this has been farmers’ overuse of harmful pesticides, causing high residue on the fruits, he added.

Nguyen unveiled that Nurture Growth signed a contract with TS Bio two days ago for technological transfer in fertilizer and soil.

Leaders from MAPAgri and Hibar System introduced their products and services in animal feed and fast-moving consumer goods.
