seedling plants to farmers.

distributes more than eighty five varieties of

4For years vegetable growing has been associated
with Dalat.
5The climate is suited to growing Western style
vegetables.
6Dr. Nguyen Ba Hung is a key player in developing
Dalats vegetable industry.
7In 1997 he researched sustainable, organic
vegetable production.
8He concluded, Farmers need improved seedling
varieties.
9So, he set up nurseries.
10Now farmers could buy new tomato, cabbage,
strawberry and potato seedlings.
11Then foreign growers ordered wasabi, cabbage and
spinach seedlings.
12Later this nursery called Hung Thien began
growing, processing and exporting romaine lettuce.
13Thirteen containers of Romaine Hearts were
shipped to Sogo, in Taiwan.
14Hung Thien now had
- but no processing facility
15So, in late 2004, a small but modern processing
centre was built.
16It included
a sanitized processing area
a receiving area
a vacuum cooling unit capable of handling 5 T
of product / day
and a 6 tonne cold storage room
17The new facility enabled Hung Thien, now known
as, ORGANIK, to develop a presence in the
domestic market.
18By late 2004 ORGANIK was supplying
Vietnams 5 star hotels from its 85 item
product range.
Saigons expatriate community via a Home
Delivery Service.
19ORGANIK guaranteed the safety of its
vegetables.
20To minimize residues biological fertilizers were
used.
21Sticky yellow bug catchers were put in the
fields.
Insect repelling flowers were planted at the edge
of fields.
22The customers deserved quality products. But
? how could quality be achieved
consistently?
? how could it be measured?
23The International Marketing Organization (IMO)
was asked to provide ORGANIK with a quality
process.
24IMO inspectors, from outside Vietnam, visited
ORGANIK in June, 2005.
25In August of 2005 ORGANIK was awarded a EUREPGAP
Certificate.
This was the first EUREPGAP Certificate issued to
a growing/processing company in Vietnam.
26ORGANIK has recently bought 4 hectares of
growing land.
27The farm will
- help ORGANIK respond to the increasing demand
for high value, organic vegetables.
- become a learning centre where students can see
modern agricultural practices in action.
- act as a model for other farmers in Dalat.
28 The rough places are being made flat.
29Who are ORGANIKS key people?
30There is the Director, Dr. Hung, with a PhD in
plant genetics and breeding improvement from
France.
There is also his wife, the Financial and
Processing Manager, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Phuong.
31There is, the Foreign Relations and Seed
