On October 13, 2025, the pulse of Vietnam’s economic ambition could be felt from the bustling industrial parks of Dong Nai to the modern factories of Hanfimex Group. Both the public and private sectors are making bold moves, shaping a future where sustainable growth, innovation, and global reach are not just aspirations but realities. The country’s entrepreneurs, businesses, and local governments are working hand-in-hand, aiming to elevate Vietnamese industry and agriculture onto the world stage—all while keeping a keen eye on people’s well-being and the environment.
According to Nhân Dân, Vo Tan Duc, Vice Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the People’s Committee of Dong Nai Province, opened a recent meeting by spotlighting the crucial role of entrepreneurs and businesses in the province’s development. Dong Nai, a powerhouse in Vietnam’s industrial landscape, now boasts more than 45,000 active enterprises. These companies do more than just fill factories—they provide jobs for hundreds of thousands, help fund public services through substantial state budget contributions, and, perhaps most importantly, improve the daily lives of local people.
“The success of the business community is the success of the province,” Chairman Duc emphasized, reiterating the government’s current motto: “government accompanies enterprises.” This partnership, he explained, goes beyond rhetoric. The provincial administration is working to improve the investment environment, raise the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI), and accelerate digital transformation in both management and public services. The goal? To make Dong Nai not just an industrial leader, but a place where innovative and sustainable business can thrive.
Dong Nai’s entrepreneurs aren’t just keeping pace—they’re setting the pace. Despite global economic headwinds and unpredictable market swings, local business leaders have shown remarkable resilience. They’ve maintained production, transformed business models, invested in new technologies, and expanded both at home and abroad. This adaptability, Chairman Duc noted, is “clear evidence of the will and intelligence of Dong Nai’s entrepreneurs.”
Strategic infrastructure projects are poised to turbocharge this momentum. The highly anticipated Long Thanh Airport, new highways, sprawling industrial parks, and modern urban centers are all coming online. These ventures are widely seen as a “golden opportunity” for businesses to invest, scale up, cooperate, and innovate. The province is pushing for green and sustainable development, and the business community is responding in kind—embracing technology, raising productivity, and aiming for environmentally responsible growth.
But Dong Nai’s story is not just about infrastructure and investment. The province’s business associations—like the Dong Nai Business Federation and the Young Entrepreneurs Association—are playing a vital role as bridges between companies and government. They help foster entrepreneurship, support innovation, and promote social responsibility. These organizations, in the words of Nhân Dân, act as a “common home” for nurturing creativity and a sense of accountability among local business leaders.
Meanwhile, on the national stage, Hanfimex Group is showing how Vietnamese agriculture can compete—and win—globally. As detailed in Dân Chủ & Pháp Luật, Hanfimex has carved out a reputation for quality, sustainability, and international reach. The company’s guiding mission is ambitious: “To provide high-value, clean agricultural products for human health.” It’s not just a slogan. Hanfimex’s 6F development model—Fresh Farm, Fair Factory, Fine Food—embodies a commitment to safe, transparent, and environmentally friendly food production, from farm to table.
Hanfimex collaborates with over 1,200 farming households in key agricultural regions such as Binh Phuoc, Hung Yen, Yen Bai, and Dong Nai itself. The company supports these farmers with organic cultivation techniques, digital transformation in agriculture, and strict controls on post-harvest chemical residues. It’s a partnership that benefits both sides: farmers gain access to modern methods and global markets, while Hanfimex secures a reliable supply of high-quality raw materials.
Investing in state-of-the-art factories across Vietnam’s main agricultural hubs, Hanfimex ensures its products meet the world’s most stringent standards. The company’s cashews, coffee, pepper, coconut, cinnamon, and star anise are processed in facilities certified by ORGANIC, SMETA, FAIR TRADE, BRC, KOSHER, HALAL, ISO 22000, HACCP, and SA 8000—credentials that open doors to demanding markets in the United States, European Union, Middle East, and Asia. Today, Hanfimex’s products can be found in more than 60 countries, including the US, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Japan, South Korea, China, and India.
Chairman Phung Van Sam, the driving force behind Hanfimex’s success, sees market volatility not as a threat, but as a catalyst for innovation. “Hanfimex does not just aim for profit,” he explained. “We want to be a bridge that helps Vietnamese farmers access the global agricultural economy, bringing Vietnamese agricultural products to the world through quality and sustainable value.” This philosophy has helped Hanfimex weather tough times and remain a pioneer in Vietnam’s clean agricultural value chain.
The company’s trophy cabinet tells the story. In 2022, Hanfimex was recognized as one of the top three largest cashew exporters in Vietnam and named a reputable export enterprise. The year before, it was listed among the Top 100 typical Asian brands and the Top 10 most reputable brands, quality products, and exemplary services. This recognition stretches back years: from 2014 to 2022, Hanfimex consistently ranked among Vietnam’s leading export enterprises.
But Hanfimex isn’t resting on its laurels. The company’s vision for 2050 is as audacious as it is inspiring: to create a healthy food chain for 9 billion people worldwide. With a young, creative, and globally minded team, Hanfimex is steadily working toward this goal—one shipment, one partnership, one innovation at a time.
It’s clear that both Dong Nai’s industrial dynamism and Hanfimex’s agricultural leadership are powered by a shared belief in sustainable, inclusive growth. As government and business work ever more closely, Vietnam’s story is evolving—from one of rapid development to one of thoughtful, long-term progress. The journey is far from over, but the momentum is unmistakable.
