Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group has started its agribusiness in 2007, spending 17 years of investing and developing with many efforts to do responsible agriculture. Customer trust is critical to the agricultural community, including Hoang Anh Gia Lai. Therefore, responsible agriculture is both requirement and a driving force that helps us overcome difficulties, seek innovation, and apply circular agriculture to create high-valued products, in the context of limited resources.
HAGL's safe products of high quality radically apply circular agriculture, meeting GLOBALG.A.P, Viet GAP standards and strictly comply with the regulations of orchard codes and packaging houses when exporting to Japan, South Korea and China. Banana, durian, and banana-fed pork are preserved in cold storage to maintain fresh quality from harvest until they are delivered to consumers. We are committed to clear and transparent traceability. Where after-sales quality problems arise, HAGL is ready to cooperate with customers to handle them in no time.
After a period of research and pilot production, HAGL Group officially launched into market a number of green agricultural products to serve domestic consumers.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai has officially distributed fresh agricultural products, harvested daily from the group's farms such as bananas, durians, and banana-fed pork through Kingfoodmart chain. This cooperation will also continue with the distribution of other HAGL products (to be disclosed by HAGL in the near future)
