With two major factories located in Can Tho and Hau Giang, WestFood has continuously invested in advanced processing technologies, ranging from freezing to canning, ensuring its products meet strict international standards such as BRC, ISO 22000, and Halal. This has laid the foundation for WestFood’s successful exports to over 40 countries and penetration into demanding markets like the U.S., EU, Japan, and Australia.

A 22-Year Journey: From Dream to Reality

WestFood began its journey with the mission to process and supply frozen and canned agricultural products rich in the flavors of the Mekong Delta. Over more than two decades, the company has steadily expanded its scale and enhanced product quality. From its first 30,000 m² plant in Can Tho, WestFood has made significant investments in modern infrastructure. In 2025, the Hau Giang factory, covering 7 hectares with a total investment of over VND 666 billion and a daily production capacity of 120 tons of finished goods, officially went into operation. This marked a major leap in production capability and created thousands of jobs for local workers.

In 2024, WestFood recorded net revenue of VND 412.82 billion, exceeding its target by 146.32%. The company has set an ambitious revenue goal of over VND 582 billion for 2025, reaffirming its leading position in the agricultural processing sector. WestFood has also signed a cooperation agreement to develop 2,000 hectares of MD2 pineapple in Phung Hiep District, Hau Giang, ensuring a stable and high-quality raw material supply for processing and export.

A Pioneering Role in Vietnam’s Agricultural Economy and Exports

WestFood’s presence in the global supply chain has significantly contributed to boosting Vietnam’s agricultural export turnover, particularly in canned and frozen fruit products. The company has played a key role in establishing Vietnam as a leading exporter of processed agricultural goods. WestFood’s products not only meet global consumption needs but also help build the image of Vietnamese agriculture as high-quality, sustainable, and eco-friendly.

By working closely with farmers and investing in raw material areas, WestFood has developed a sustainable agricultural ecosystem, increasing farmers’ incomes and promoting local economic growth. The Hau Giang factory stands as a clear testament to this effort, generating thousands of jobs and supporting the development of high-quality MD2 pineapple cultivation zones.

In addition, WestFood plays an important role in promoting digital transformation and modern technology application in agricultural production. By adopting international processing standards, the company not only enhances product value but also sets an example for other businesses, contributing to the sustainable development of Vietnam’s agricultural sector.

Looking Ahead: Sustainability and Global Expansion

In a world increasingly focused on sustainable and high-quality food, WestFood proudly stands as a pioneer, delivering premium products with both cultural and economic significance. As it enters its 22nd year, WestFood remains committed to a sustainable development path — staying connected with farmers, protecting the environment, and elevating the Vietnamese brand. The company aims to expand into new markets and invest in advanced processing technologies to meet the growing demand for green and healthy consumption.

22 years — a journey not only long but also full of pride and milestones. For WestFood, it is a path of value creation and industry leadership. But more than what has already been achieved, these 22 years are just the beginning of greater aspirations on the global stage. WestFood will continue to walk alongside Vietnamese farmers, bringing Vietnamese agricultural products to new heights worldwide.

The trip offered a wealth of memorable experiences and served as an ideal opportunity for team members in the Hanoi office to connect, network, and strengthen their bonds. F.I.T Group places great emphasis on team-building activities, always prioritizing the well-being and mental health of its employees. In addition to cultivating a supportive work environment, offering fair benefits, and recognizing employee contributions, F.I.T Group maintains its tradition of annual teambuilding events to foster unity and reinforce the company’s distinctive corporate culture.

“Breakthrough to Succeed” is not just a slogan — it embodies the determination and spirit of F.I.T Group’s Hanoi team.

From the very first moments, the atmosphere was buzzing with energy as participants tackled a series of physical and team challenges such as “United We Stand,” “Horseback Archery,” and “The Team Wheel.” These games brought laughter, excitement, and unforgettable memories. More than just fun, each activity conveyed real-life lessons in teamwork, trust, and pushing past one’s limits — all essential traits for personal growth and collective success.

“Nothing is too difficult when we unite with one heart and strive for a common goal. The true joy lies not in the rewards, but in the lasting bonds of a big family that walks side by side, overcoming every obstacle together,” shared Ms. Nguyen Ha, a Design Specialist.

The 2025 “Breakthrough to Succeed” teambuilding event also served as a special moment for company leadership and Hanoi office staff to come together to share, listen, and inspire one another. Firm handshakes, warm hugs, and determined eyes stood as proof of a compassionate company culture where colleagues are more than just co-workers — they are companions on a shared journey.

With more than 3,000 companies from over 50 countries and tens of thousands of international buyers in attendance, THAIFEX is not only a hub for the latest global F&B trends but also a strategic platform for agricultural brands to assert their position in the international market.

At this year’s event, WestFood introduced its flagship product lines made from sustainably sourced raw materials in the Mekong Delta, including IQF tropical frozen fruits, canned fruits, and premium pre-processed ingredients for beverage and food applications. All products are manufactured at WestFood’s two internationally certified factories in Can Tho and Hau Giang, utilizing cutting-edge technology and adhering strictly to global standards such as FDA, HACCP, and BRC.

WestFood brought its signature Vietnamese agricultural excellence to THAIFEX – Anuga Asia.

More than just a product showcase, WestFood attended THAIFEX 2025 with the goal of building strong partnerships and expanding its presence in the global supply chain.

“We are open to working with importers, Horeca systems, retail chains, and F&B brands seeking a reliable, high-quality supply partner with the ability to customize through OEM, ODM, or private label models,” a WestFood representative shared.

Driven by the aspiration to elevate Vietnamese agriculture on the global stage, WestFood is committed not only to providing world-class products but also to pursuing a sustainable development path — one in which every agricultural product tells a story of the land, the people, and the heartfelt dedication behind the label “Made in Vietnam.” From the fields of the homeland, with integrity in production and responsibility to the community, Vietnamese agricultural products are fully capable of conquering global markets.

This is more than just a business goal. It is a mission rooted in national pride — to spark value, spread cultural identity, and reaffirm Vietnam’s position at the global dining table.

From the overall organization to every detail of the program, the event showcased thoughtful planning and heartfelt dedication. The space was designed to be both safe and imaginative, offering children a play environment that was both modern and enriched with traditional cultural values.

A Creative Highlight: Traditional To He Clay Figurine Workshop

One of the event’s standout activities was a hands-on experience making To He — traditional Vietnamese rice powder figurines — with a skilled artisan. Under their guidance, the children were free to create, hone their attention to detail, and learn patience through each handcrafted piece, all while leaving their personal mark on their creations.

The festive atmosphere became even livelier with a traditional lion dance and drum performance, captivating both children and parents alike. The powerful movements, rhythmic drumbeats, and vibrant visuals brought an exciting and culturally rich dimension to the event.

The lion dance performance set the tone for a joyful and dynamic celebration.

Strengthening Family Bonds Through Play

A special moment of the festival was the interaction between parents and children during a series of fun and engaging physical games, which truly became a bridge strengthening family bonds on this special day. The boundaries between work and home, adults and children, seemed to disappear as everyone joined in the playful, simple, yet deeply connective games.
Tight hand-holding, encouraging glances, and shared laughter all wove together a picture full of emotion and unity. These precious moments embodied DCL’s core message: caring for employees’ emotional well-being is a key investment in the sustainable growth of the company.

Everyone came together in a joyful, colorful celebration of childhood.

People at the Heart of Sustainable Growth

In an ever-changing world, Cuu Long Pharmaceutical remains steadfast in its commitment to one enduring core value: people. From cheerful children’s festivals to policies focused on sustainable development for its team, DCL continues to assert its position as one of Vietnam’s leading pharmaceutical companies.

WestFood’s products have made their way into demanding markets such as the United States, Australia, France, Japan, and South Korea, and are trusted by major corporations such as Atalanta, Schreiber Foods, Cargill, as well as leading retail chains like Aeon and Lotte Mart.

A special highlight of the factory is its strict quality management system, certified by international standards such as FDA, IFS, BRC, HALAL, KOSHER, FSMA, and FSSC 22000. These are not only “entry tickets” to global markets, but also firm commitments to quality and food safety that WestFood brings to consumers.

Before the Hau Giang factory became operational, WestFood Can Tho played the role of the company’s main production base. Throughout its development journey, the factory has continuously invested in research and development (R&D), improved formulations, and diversified products to meet the ever-changing consumer trends. It is also the testing ground for new products, helping WestFood maintain its pioneering position in Vietnam’s agricultural processing industry.

More than just a factory, WestFood Can Tho is a symbol of creativity, perseverance, and continuous innovation. In every product shipped from this site lies the essence of fertile land, the hardworking hands of Vietnamese farmers, and the relentless efforts of a team striving for global standards.

The Sacred Water Linked to Folk Legends

Tracing back in history, at the foot of the majestic Hòn Chuông Mountain, a mineral water stream has quietly flowed through generations – that is Đảnh Thạnh, a gift that the ancestors believed to be “Heaven’s Water.” In the ancient book Đại Nam nhất thống chí, this mineral water was recorded as a sacred source, closely associated with the legend of Thiên Y A Na, the Holy Mother who protects the land. Locals believe that the water gushing from the earth not only brings life but also has healing powers – a blessing for the land’s everlasting prosperity. The name “Đảnh Thạnh” comes from this belief, meaning “The Peak of Prosperity” in the local dialect.

Hòn Chuông Mountain – The Birthplace of the Precious Natural Alkaline Mineral Source Đảnh Thạnh

Scientific Value of One of Vietnam’s Leading Natural Alkaline Mineral Sources

Since the last century, this mineral water source has attracted the attention of many domestic and international scientists. From Professor H. Fronte (France) with his work The Water Sources in Southern Vietnam in 1958, to in-depth studies by the University of Pharmacy and Vietnamese doctors from 1978 to 1991, all have confirmed that the Đảnh Thạnh mineral source possesses high stability, rare composition, comparable to renowned mineral springs such as Evian (France), Kuldur (Russia), Bath (UK)…

Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water is Proven to Have a Perfect pH 9.0 Alkalinity and Rich Natural Minerals

A highlight of this mineral source is its high content of Metasilicic acid (H₂SiO₃) and a completely natural pH 9.0 alkalinity – helping prevent and reduce various health conditions. When the first well was completed in 1986, the mineral water erupted from a depth of 220 meters, at a temperature of 72°C, with a flow rate of 1.6 liters/second – a clear testament to the vibrant life force from Mother Earth. Today, the Đảnh Thạnh natural alkaline mineral source is still licensed by the Ministry of Health as one of the quality natural alkaline mineral sources in Vietnam.

Preserving the Essence of Nature – Spreading Health to Millions of Consumers

With a deep understanding of this natural heritage’s value, Khánh Hòa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company has been actively preserving the pristine ecosystem around the mineral mine area in Diên Khánh – featuring natural vegetation and a 35-hectare area of pristine mineral mud. A protective buffer zone has also been established to isolate the water source from residential areas and pollution factors.

From these “Jewels in the Rock,” the company has developed three main product lines: Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water, Đảnh Thạnh Carbonated Mineral Water, and Sumo Energy Mineral Water. Each product offers a different way to bring the Earth’s energy closer to modern consumers.

Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water is Distributed Widely Nationwide

From the historic drops at the foot of Hòn Chuông Mountain, Vikoda has delivered the essence of Đảnh Thạnh’s water source to millions across the country – through a wide distribution network including over 173 supermarkets, 3,600 convenience stores, 50 resorts, more than 60 four- and five-star hotels, and 100 corporate clients. Particularly, the company’s mineral water products have also expanded internationally, conquering the Chinese market – a populous and promising market, clearly demonstrating the lasting appeal of pure natural value.

In the future, Vikoda will continue investing in research and modern production technology to develop new products, carrying the full energy of the Đảnh Thạnh mineral source – contributing to raising community health standards with solutions derived from nature.

Along the streets leading to Tram Huong Tower, groups of Buddhists dressed in blue robes, pink lotus, and red lotus hues gathered at the stage in the historic April 2nd Square. At exactly 7:30 PM, the art performance program titled “Fragrance of the Lotus Forever” officially opened. The event was organized by the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha in Khanh Hoa Province in collaboration with the Khanh Hoa Spiritual Heritage and Tourism Preservation Association, welcoming the Vesak 2025 celebration.

In his opening speech, Venerable Thich Thien Phuoc – Deputy Head and Chief Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha in Khanh Hoa Province – emphasized that the Vesak Grand Ceremony has become an international cultural event recognized by the United Nations, spreading Buddhist values of culture, peace, compassion, love, and tolerance to the community and society.

Vikoda is honored to be the exclusive water sponsor for the entire Vesak 2025 Grand Ceremony.

Honored to accompany the Grand Ceremony, Vikoda – natural alkaline mineral water sourced directly from the Vietnamese earth – served as the exclusive water sponsor, contributing to connecting the community with a lifestyle of pure, nature-based health care and adding humanitarian values to the program.

A Precious Source of Natural Minerals

Rich in natural minerals such as H₂SiO₃, HCO₃⁻, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, and more, this water not only helps balance the body’s electrolytes but also supports strong bones, improves digestive function, and enhances metabolism.

In particular, the naturally occurring CO₂ stimulates the stomach to secrete enzymes, thereby improving digestion efficiency and reducing feelings of bloating and discomfort after meals.

Preserving Purity – Safeguarding the Precious Đảnh Thạnh Mineral Source

In 1986, when the Southern Hydrogeological Division successfully drilled the first ĐT well, Đảnh Thạnh mineral water surged from a depth of 220 meters, gushing 8.1 meters high at a temperature of 72°C, with a stable flow rate of 1.6 liters per second. This was not only a remarkable geological discovery but also a testament to the priceless gift bestowed by nature.

Panoramic View of Hon Chuong Mountain – The Origin of “Gems in Stone”

Deeply aware of the value of this precious mineral source, Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company (Vikoda) has remained committed to preserving the pristine ecosystem in its entirety. A 35-hectare conservation area, with untouched natural vegetation and layers of primordial mineral mud, has been maintained in its original state — allowing the water source to continue its centuries-long natural filtration process. At the same time, a protective buffer zone has been established to isolate the mineral spring from residential areas and pollution risks, ensuring that every drop reaching consumers retains its original purity and intrinsic value.

The Journey to Preserve the Essence of the Mineral Source

To produce natural alkaline mineral water with the ideal pH level of 9.0 while retaining its valuable natural micro-minerals, the entire on-site production process is strictly controlled and enhanced with advanced technology. It follows a rigorous sequence: Extraction – Treatment – Bottling – Labeling – Packaging.

Specifically, the mineral water is drawn directly from a 220-meter-deep artesian well, naturally rising at a temperature of 72°C. It is then transported to the factory through a closed stainless steel pipeline system, ensuring the utmost purity is preserved.

Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water Factory Nestled Within a 35-Hectare Conservation Area

At the factory, mineral water undergoes a rigorous treatment process in accordance with national standard QCVN 6-1:2000/BYT and international Codex 108. Using only physical methods—such as deodorization, filtration, and sterilization through UV technology—the water is then cooled and chilled before entering production. Once it meets strict quality standards, it is transferred to five fully automated bottling and labeling lines.

PET bottles are blown on-site using advanced Italian equipment, ensuring packaging safety and compliance with international standards. Finally, the products are labeled, packed, and prepared for delivery to consumers.

A New Look – A Bold Leap Forward for Vikoda Factory

Spanning an area of 50,000 square meters, Vikoda’s natural alkaline mineral water factory is equipped with six fully automated production lines, including two glass bottle lines, two PET bottle lines, one canning line, and one 19-liter bottle line. All machinery is imported from Italy, Germany, and Taiwan, boasting a total capacity of up to 400 cubic meters per day and night—meeting the most stringent international standards.

State-of-the-Art Production Lines at Vikoda Natural Alkaline Mineral Water Factory

After 35 years of establishment and continuous development, the factory has constantly evolved in both appearance and technology—bringing to life its mission of delivering premium, differentiated products and services that lead the industry and elevate quality of life.

“Gems in Stone” – Pure Life for Every Home

From each drop of these “Gems in Stone,” Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company has introduced three flagship product lines to the market: Vikoda natural alkaline mineral water, Đảnh Thạnh sparkling mineral water, and Sumo energy-boosted mineral water—catering to different customer segments with a variety of bottle designs and sizes.

These high-quality products are now widely available across Vietnam and in international markets, supported by a strong distribution network of over 1,000 partners—including 173 supermarkets, 3,600 convenience stores, 50 premium resorts, over 60 four- and five-star hotels, and major e-commerce platforms—on the path toward delivering 1 million bottles of water per day.
