On April 21, 2023, the research and investment team of Kirin Capital, led by Director Ferman Lee, visited GC Food (GCF) factory in Ninh Thuan province. Mr. Nguyen Van Thu, Chairman of GCF, Mr. Dinh The Hien, a member of the Board of Directors, and other factory managers warmly welcomed the Kirin Capital delegation. Additionally, the meeting was attended by Mr. Huynh Thanh Hai, Chairman of Saigon Star Capital Joint Stock Company (SSC).
GC Food is the largest manufacturer of aloe vera and coconut jelly in Vietnam, specializing in supplying domestic and international markets. GC Food’s Viet Farm, the destination for this visit, is the largest aloe vera factory in Vietnam with a daily raw material capacity of 100 tons.
At the beginning of the visit, GC Food representatives introduced the aloe vera products that are special to Ninh Thuan. The province’s favorable climatic conditions with plenty of sunshine and wind have produced aloe vera plants with high nutritional, health, and beauty values. Recognizing this, GC Food built the Viet Farm factory here, covering an area of over 2 hectares, focusing on investing in modern production lines and technologies that meet international standards to produce the best quality aloe vera products.
During the visit, the Kirin Capital team had the opportunity to visit the entire GC Food factory, including the large-capacity production line system and the advanced tissue culture and propagation room. Nguyen Van Thu shared the aloe vera production process in detail, from the sterilization stage to the product completion.
In addition to Viet Farm, GC Food currently owns Sun & Wind – an organic farm covering 50 hectares in Ninh Thuan and the Vina Coco factory producing coconut jelly in Dong Nai. Of note, Sun & Wind is planned to become a noteworthy agricultural experience and tourism destination in the future, where visitors can enjoy fragrant flowers and sweet fruits, admire the beautiful scenery, go mountain climbing, and turn their agricultural dreams into reality by pruning grape branches and caring for apple fruits, etc.
At the meeting, representatives of all parties also discussed further the direction of agricultural development in general for the 2023-2025 period. As an investor, Kirin Capital highly values the potential of the agricultural industry and is actively seeking investment opportunities in the industry.
The GC Food factory visit opened up new perspectives and directions for Kirin Capital’s investment and agricultural industry development, promising cooperation opportunities between Kirin Capital and GC in the near future.
