June 18, 2025 marks the 22nd anniversary of the establishment of the Western Export Food Processing Joint Stock Company (WestFood). Over the past 22 years, WestFood has grown into one of Vietnam’s pioneering enterprises in the field of agricultural processing and export, bringing the essence of Vietnamese fruits to more than 40 countries around the world.
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.
