HAT DUONG WORLD HANUTI JSC. Joining hands to create people’s livelihood
Hanuti was founded with the mission of becoming a “Pioneer to build nut world and nutrition nut ecosystem; Spread the lifestyle: live with quality, healthy, beautifully, happily, civilly and…”.
The passion of an agricultural engineer
Starting as an agricultural enthusiast, graduated from Vietnam National University of Agriculture 1, majoring in Agricultural economics, Mr. Lai Ngoc Thanh – Hanuti’s CEO has always kept in his mind the passion and aspiration to create an agricultural product brand that reaches out to the world.
During his time working at domestic and foreign projects, Mr. Thanh realized that: “Even when people have access to funding sources to support nuts and fertilizers to implement livelihood models, they still may not have a sustainable livelihood because there is no stable output. Received capital support, scientific and technical advice in production, yet people still need the participation of businesses to be able to consume products. Therefore, I decided to establish Hat Duong World JSC with the goal of building strong agricultural and food brands to be able to link and consume agricultural products for the people.”
In addition to the goal of building sustainable livelihoods for people in raw material areas, Hanuti has been creating jobs for female workers at Hanuti food processing workshops in Yen Ha village, Hai Boi commune, Dong Anh district with a stable income.90% percent of workers in Hanuti are the women in the age of 40 – 50.
Similarly, Mr. Bach Thai Khoa – 38 years old – Workshop manager shared: “Being accepted to work at Hanuti, I was so happy because not only I have a stable income, but I also can be close to my family and be guaranteed other benefits such as insurance, travel…”
According to Mr. Lai Ngoc Thanh: “Since established, we have built a workshop in Dong Anh district and have attracted a large local workforce, mostly women, with a salary of 4 to 6 million VND/person/month. We always want to expand our business so that Hanuti can generate more jobs, increase income and stabilize the life

The company has built a link chain starting with the cooperation with ethnic minority households in the Luc Khu area of Ha Quang district, Cao Bang province, controlling the organic nut material area including crops such as peanuts, soybeans, black beans, green beans, glutinous corn, white sesame and black sesame.
At the same time, Hanuti has also developed organic-oriented material areas in some provinces and cities such as Hanoi, Thai Binh and Dien Bien. Hanuti’s products are manufactured from organic or safety materials to ensure food safety and hygiene, without using herbicides, pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the farming process.
In addition to producing natural fruit syrups named Giot Lanh without using preservatives, colorants or flavor enhancers, Hanuti is focusing on developing nutritional products from nuts under the brand name Hat Duong from native, non-GMO certified organic nuts in EU, USA, (NOP/USDA) and Japan (JAS) combined with high quality imported nut sources.

The transition from chemical-intensive farming to organic farming is a long and arduous journey.
