About us:
PRINCIPLES & HIGH LIGHTS |
|
|
OUR
ORGANIZATION: How did we first formed in Vietnam |
Our goals are simple: |
First:
Rebuilding our
export agriculture strength with organization, modernization, innovation,
science and cooperation |
Second:
Improving the rural infrastructure, the environment and life support
programs for the countryside; |
Third:
Developing innovative light industrial manufacturing at poor,
disaster-ridden Provinces in Central & North Vietnam |
Fourth
Developing other innovative future industries,
practical vocational training, etc. for future generations |
A
comprehensive "10-year Master Plan for the Development of Export
Agriculture and Rural Vietnam." was written detailing the a our Economic
Plan in Vietnam with over 136 projects focusing on major exportable crops with a network of supporting industrial/business operations to alleviate the impoverishment
of the countryside. We plan to generate an annual revenue of 900-million USD
within 3 years and to reach 10 billion USD after 5 years. This Master
Plan has received emphatic support of key leaders of the Political,
Legislative and Executive body of Vietnam. We now proceed create an
official international organization to execute the plan with the
participation of Vietnamese farmers, professionals in cooperation with the
United States, Russia, the United Nations and other scientific organizations. |
The Business and Operation
Principles of this Organization |
The purpose of this
Organization is to develop export agriculture for rural Vietnam, to
revitalize the economic and living foundation for the people, to improve
human habitat, the infrastructure and the environment. We will operate
with a uniquely innovative but different set of principles from
conventional businesses. |
DEDICATION, PROFESSIONALISM,
SCIENTIFIC,
DISCIPLINED
METHODICAL AND ORGANIZED |
Our first and
foremost
operation principles
are: PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, METHODICAL,
DISCIPLINED and ORGANIZED in each and every operation, every program
and every project we engaged in. This is the fundamental
prerequisite for success. Before each Program is organized, our
Program Planning Dept must be complete, comprehensive and validated
wherever and whenever possible. Each approach to an export market is a
strategy that is well above common standard by other exporting nation
including the world's leading exporter. This is how we must conduct
ourselves and be successful against competing nation. We must be
better than them in every way possible. |
OMNI-FRONT, MULTI LATERAL APPROACH TO SOLVING PROBLEMS |
The Second principle
with us is the OMNI-FRONT, MULTILATERAL approach to all plans,
products and businesses. With our experience and knowledge of the
product and market, with the hardworking habit of our Vietnamese
farmers, we have no reasons to be lesser than our next competing
nation of the same product. If we must unlearn the past to
progress, we must do so promptly; Each move that we make must be done
so with the objective of improving ourselves over competing nations.
Each field operation must be systemized with custom
financial/management growth strategies to minimize weaknesses and
maximize strength. Weakness and strength here must be measured
not by our own standards but against prevalent standards and export
strength known to the World and set by leading exporting nations. |
MUTUAL
SUPPORT,
MUTUAL
RESPECT
WORKING FOR EACH OTHERS &
FOR THE
COUNTRY AS A NATION |
The Third principle is the MUTUAL SUPPORT, MUTUAL RESPECT INTERNAL RELATIONSHIP
between staff, between our Departments and Farmers, between us and our
suppliers and the government. Farmers, scientists, office clerks are
not our workers but our PARTNERS; Government bodies are not our
adversary but our SUPPORTERS with important legal responsibilities and
professional roles on their own. Each worker, clerk and scientist is
equally important and honored. Exploitation in any form is not
tolerated; Farmers are the backbone of our work and must be highly
trained, disciplined as well as respected. These operating principles
will be translated into functional mechanisms at work. |
MODERNIZED, MECHANIZED, METHODICAL, HIGHLY ORGANIZED MAXIMUM
MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY |
The Fourth principle is that our operations must be MODERNIZED,
MECHANIZED, METHODICAL, ORGANIZED with MANAGEMENT EFFICIENCY
to achieve the highest possible productivity and quality. We
cannot use manual labor and expect to surpass other exporting
nations from China, Thailand, etc. Our operations and production combine modernization methods
with intensive skilled labor with advanced management and
systemization using modern technology International marketing,
product preparation, packaging must be intelligent, professional and
better than our competing neighboring countries. We prohibit the use
of chemicals, bio-agents to induce artificial growth like China. This
is inhumane, crooked, illegal and dangerous. We don't need that to be
successful. |
UNIFICATION
OF STRENGTH for PRODUCTIVITY, PROFITABILITY.
NO INTERNAL
CONFLICTS AND EXPLOITATION OF FARMERS |
Another principle that
this Organization: We encourage COOPERATION, INTEGRITY and STRAIGHT
FORWARD in our work so we can be a stronger in the international
market. Modern nations like to advocate and even stir up
conflicts for their buying advantage in the name of "free enterprises"
but this is merely a cover-up for exploitation and profiteering of
weaker nations. We stand by fairness, honesty, professionalism, equal
opportunities and equal rights. Conflicts lead to exploitation of
farmers, draining our resources and weaken our resolves. We are
competitive with other nations and not with ourselves. We must unify
our strength by systemizing our assets and resources to maximize
product quality and production while strategize marketing plans for
lateral expansion of markets without pricing sacrifices. Tricks,
dishonest sale gimmicks and illegalities have no place in our
organization. We are more interested in intelligent planning, science
and hard work. |
PROFITS DEDICATED TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS, INFRASTRUCTURE, ENVIRONMENTAL and
IMPROVEMENT OF LIFE FOR THE TOWNS AND PROVINCES |
We consider that a
functional and healthy infrastructure, environment and living habitat
are also the purposes for which we serve. Social responsibility is
just as important as economic success. We must realize that the weaker
the physical environment and infrastructure, the less effective our
economy can be; the healthier living for workers and farmers, the more
productive they can be. Vietnam's physical infrastructure and the
environment have continued to deteriorated especially with the current
urbanization pace. They must be repaired before they reach the point
of costly repair. We must realize that public health epidemics and
other ecological disaster will ruin everything Vietnam has hastily
built - including the real estate, high rises, tourisms and fancy
stores. |
|
By carefully and successfully
carry out these principles, by scientifically and intelligently conducting
our work, by creating a network of support mechanisms, with the combined
efforts and experience of our technical, scientific staff, and with the
financial assistance, the scientific support and the skillfully crafted
plans we will execute, profitability is much more assured. |
HOW DO WE WORK WITH OTHER
GROUPS OR NATIONS? |
The economic situations
in Vietnam require innovative approach and methods in working with groups
and official entities while maintaining the honesty,
respect and integrity of our organization. Fundamentally, we must
devise methodology that is most suitable for Vietnam in the interests of
the people and the nation of Vietnam but professional, effective and consistent with WTO's international
trade policies. We actively induce international trade and cooperation
with the West and not the mutual exploitation mechanisms of the West or
the manipulative tactics of the Chinese. We advocate mutual support and
respects among nations. |
For
example, wholesalers and brokers
rely on how low they can cheat growers for quick money and even to destroy
the future opportunities for Vietnam. Dealing with international market
requires experience and strategies. We can achieve
our economic goals honestly and fairly by strategic
marketing, by better management, by scientific farming and by
treating growers as a part of our business. With us, growers deserve the
same decency, respect, care
and support just as a department within our organization in return for a share of the profit and the full social, moral
and human support we provide to them and their families.
Too many business groups in Vietnam rely heavily on corruption and connection networks to exploit the helplessness and
dependency of the poor and of consumers without regards to
any consequences upon society or the nation's economy.
They use corruptions to weaken governments and draining the nation's resources for
personal ends. To rebuild a nation, we must allow the distribution of
opportunities and the "means of production" to the economic production
bases, namely industry, agriculture, manufacturing. |
In the existing business
system, exporters/farmers and government entities are opertating as adversaries. We foresee the necessity
for government entities to play supportive administrative roles in our development process.
By devising and innovating useful roles for government at central and
provincial level, we create efficiency, productivity as well as fostering a
new atmosphere of support and respect. Government has a critical role in our philosophy and an active participants in the
planning, preparation and scientific support processes. They are
not merely regulators or money mongers as in the US. They are
entitled to a part of our economic wealth and thereby responsible to
support the common good of the nation.
These are the ethical
bases of our conduct and must be strictly abided by. |
Principles of our Conduct
and Operation |
This will provide an
overview of the strict Code of Conduct and Work Ethics that we
must govern ourselves as well as being an exemplified organization
and individuals for others to respect and to learn from in
Vietnam. |
Work Issues |
Common
Practices |
Our own
innovative approach for Vietnam |
INTERNAL
MANAGEMENT MECHANISM |
Whereas US management
styles emphasizes on procedures and rules, we must base ours on
scientific work flow, efficiency and productivity. |
Procedural management
restricts flows and can be counter-productive or costly. It create
conflicts and selfishness. We devise a management method per
products or service per customers' requirements and their
necessities and must allow discretions and changes to facilitate
innovations even at the sacrifice of management conveniences. |
PRODUCTION
QUALITY ORIENTED, RESULT-DRIVEN ONLY |
Whereas US management
philosophy based on departmentalized responsibility. This incites
inter-office conflicts and individualism |
Management is
secondary to and supportive of PRODUCTIVITY or SERVICE QUALITY.
Result-driven philosophy allows individuals to innovate and
personally engaging to improve, contribute and thereby rewarded
for such improvements |
NO HIERARCHY,
NO MONARCHY, NO AUTHORITARIANISM |
This problem persists
both in the US and VN. It rewards dictatorships, seniority over
productivity interests of the group. |
As a
productivity-driven operation, management seniority is based
largely on knowledge, contribution, results and dedication. US may
speak of "equality" but their management philosophy does not. Our
model is truly "equality and opportunity" as it promotes those who
work and demote those who cannot work. |
SCIENCE,
EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY-DRIVEN OPERATIONS OR PROCEDURES |
Other's management and
operation base largely on management's conveniences and operates
independently of others. This method is old, stupid and costly |
Management and the
standard of operation must support productivity and NOT the
management itself. Management must base on scientific foundations
and must be continuously studied to eliminate issues and barriers
to productivity and quality of products |
REPLACING
CORRUPTIONS WITH COMMON SHARING OF INTERESTS AND SUCCESS |
This is a serious
problem in Vietnam but at times it is inescapable. However this
must be changed in a modernized economic operation. |
We do not disrespect
the necessity of corruptions in Vietnam as a temporary means of
solving obstacles but it must be eliminated and replaced by a
better system of sharing of reward, interest or success. There
will be no needs for corruptions when people have better outcomes
that can be achieved by other legal, legitimate and more
respectful ways. |
MANAGERS ARE
FACILITATOR OF OBJECTIVES AND DETAILS - NOT TALKERS, |
US management system
is outdated and often counter-productive as managers set up
procedures to serve his needs and not of the organization.
Managers are often just talk and do not know how to work |
In our organization or
system, managers facilitate results and knowledgeable of details
to assist and support workers. With us, skills, experience and
capability in real work are rewarded - talks are cheap. They will
be replaced with skilled workers whenever necessary. |
FARMERS ARE CONSIDERED
A "DEPT" OF THIS ORGANIZATION |
US management and VN
style treat farmers/workers merely as a subordinate function or
even slaves to exploit. This lead to indifference,
unproductiveness... |
As the "production
department" of the organization, they are respected, supported and
cared for just like managers, technicians and scientists. They are
given the responsibility to ascertain of our product quality in
returns, they are treated with dignity and entitled to a share of
our success. |
|
Important Supporting Roles for Government Agencies and other
Professional, Educational Organizations |
As to the role of the
Government, in our Plan, government agencies will play important support
roles to protect short and long term interests of Vietnam's export
agriculture and the protection or promotion of Vietnam's agricultural
economic interests in the international market. |
Task or work to
be done |
Typical
Government Entity |
Reasons
|
PROTECTION OF CERTAIN
VALUABLE SEEDLINGS IMPORTANT TO VIETNAM |
Ministry of
Agriculture, Ministry of Forestry, etc. |
Certain crops will be
developed from valuable seedlings. The protection of these
seedlings is useful towards future growth and export prices for
Vietnam and for the farmers. |
INSPECT AND ENFORCE
EXPORT QUALITY AS SUGGESTED BY VINAREX to safeguard agriculture |
Agricultural Inspector
of the Provincial Government |
We will train MOA's
Agricultural Inspector and will support 50% of the cost. Inspectors are to
enforce product/export standards set by VINAREX to protect the
interest of our exports and to deter illegal sales of low quality
at low prices that effects the revenue of Vietnam |
TO CHECK AND ENFORCE
SAFE AND CORRECT USE OF PESTICIDES |
Agricultural Inspector
of the Provincial Government |
Unsafe use of
pesticides can be dangerous to farmers and the environment. We
will train Inspectors and set up programs for Inspectors to work
and farmers to undergo training to be certified. |
TO MONITOR AND PREVENT
SPREAD OF CERTAIN INSECTS, DISEASES AFFECTING CROPS |
Agricultural Inspector
of the Provincial Government |
Insect and disease
control are critical not only to agriculture but also to the
environment and public health. We will support this program by
directly train and fund local Provincial Governments. |
TO PARTICIPATE IN
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES IN IMPORTANT SUBJECTS |
Ministry of
Agriculture |
We will support more
scientific works by direct participation and by soliciting for
more training, scholarships, etc to Vietnamese scholars overseas
or having UN, US, UK scientists to work in VN |
TO MONITOR, ADVISE,
SUPPORT US RE QUARANTINE RULES BY IMPORTING NATIONS |
Ministry of
Agriculture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs |
To monitor status and
changes and to push for acceptance must be jointly done by VINAREX
and MIN OF AGRICULTURE with the info from MIN OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
via overseas Embassies. |
TO MONITOR ILLEGAL
EXPORTS OF LOWER STANDARDS AND LOWER PRICES BY OTHER WHOLESALERS |
Export Customs |
Illegal exports of low
quality products will dampen our reputation and lower
international prices. Government can help by monitoring and
preventing any illegal exports |
TO MONITOR AND PREVENT
THE GROWING OF LOW QUALITY FOR EXPORTS |
Agricultural Inspector
of the Provincial Government |
Similar to above, Ag
Inspector and Provincial Government can help by making sure no
farmers will grow poor quality to export to cause price problems
overseas and lower the image of our export products |
TO MONITOR AND PREVENT
THE ILLEGAL SALES AFFECTING OUR EXPORT UNDER WTO ISSUES |
Ministry of Public
Security |
There are other WTO
issues we must consider for compliance. Security of Information,
technology and industrial secrets must be guarded against external
theft by competing nations. Government can also help us in these
equally important areas. |
TO FACILITATE, SUPPORT
PRIVILEGE FOR TRANSPORTING AND SHIPPING OF AG PRODUCTS |
Ministry of Public
Security, Ministry of Transportation |
In exchange for our
support of local infrastructure and local economy, we need
government to help so agricultural products can be moved
quickly such as no road fees, etc. |
TO MONITOR AND PREVENT
THE UNDER PRICING AND DUMPING OF VIETNAM AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS OVERSEAS |
Ministry of
Agriculture, Ministry of Foreign Affairs |
Illegal exports of low
quality products will damage Vietnam's reputation and lower
international prices. Government can help by monitoring and
preventing any illegal exports and enhance our Brand Names in the
World's market. |
The new and important
roles by Central and Provincial Governments are important to the
enhancement, expansion of our economic exports and economic
strength of Vietnam. These roles will also create a much better
new image of government from an adversary to a scientific, support
and promotion of a stronger economy and thereby a stronger Vietnam
in Asia. |
