GREEN NUT – Clean products for consumers’ health
Organic Green Nut Joint Stock Company was officially established in 2018 with the desire to bring clean, nutritious and healthy products to Vietnamese consumers. The company is currently based at 877 Phuc Dien, Xuan Phuong, Tu Liem, Hanoi. Its main products include tofu, fresh bean curd, bean milk, tofu, etc. all branded “Hometown tofu”.
Not just a business, Green Nut embraces a mission to preserve and develop Vietnamese agricultural products, especially non-GMO soybean materials, the planting area of which is gradually shrinking due to competition with imported GMO soybeans. Therefore, 100% of Green Nut’s products are processed from non-GMO agricultural materials grown in provinces such as Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, Bac Ninh, Nghe An, and Yen Bai.
Green Nut products ensure cleanness from planting to processing. Manufacturing process is strictly supervised, ensuring transparency from farm to table. Soybeans products are manufactured based on the values of traditional products – no preservatives, no flavorings, no chemical additives, thereby winning not only Hanoian but also reaching out to the northern provinces through clean food stores, supermarkets and convenience stores in Bac Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Thai Nguyen, Nghe An. The “Hometown tofu”-branded product was awarded the Capital Women’s Innovative Product Award 2021.
Applying Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) helps the company to significantly reduce production costs.
Participating in the Project “Promotion of supply and demand of eco-fair agri-food processing products in Vietnam” (Eco-Fair Project), funded by the European Union – Switch Asia program, since October, 2021, Green Nut has received great support from experts of Vietnam Cleaner Production Center Co., Ltd. (VNCPC), who visited Green Nut’s production facilities to make survey and assessment to help optimize production costs. After receiving advice from experts, Green Nut gradually made certain improvements such as: rewinding the zinc wire, installing additional equipment to save electricity and water. Then, in November and December 2021, the company’s monthly water bill was reduced by 30%, and the electricity bill was reduced by about 2.5%/month.
With the considerable support from the Project, we have been implementing energy efficiency solutions, which bring practical impacts to our company in saving production costs, protecting environment. We would like to express our sincere thanks and hope to receive further support to become more popularized among consumers, as well as to better serve customers”, shared Ms. Do Thi Ngoc Tram – General Director of Green Nut.
