Aside from increased
pollination for agricultural crops, BEE FARMING has multiple
functions and benefits to the communities and other economic
values. However, the production, planning and marketing process
must be modernized, systemized to meet the hygiene disease-free
requirements. Any use of growth stimulants and gene manipulations
similar to practices in other countries especially China must be
prohibited. This is the reason why we must directly organize,
train, and manage these operations with periodic lab tests of the
bees and honey to ensure quality products to customers. |

This product line
correctly meet the necessity and philosophy of our operations:
To make money to support Vietnam and our farmers but also to
generate other multilateral benefits to other plans: Increase
pollination for crops, support farmers' family members so
their loved ones are together, interact and catalyze
to create new products from cosmetics to food and drink
ingredients, etc. However to protect the health and the long term
image of the nation, again, we must be able to show the world that we are
a progressive group of people and know how to grow products
without the need to add bio agents to induce growth chemically
like China. We can produce them scientifically and healthily.
We plan to create at least 1 bee farm for every 100 Ha of farm
site; each bee farm will raise at least 100 hives (1 Hive per
Ha); This quantity to increase to 100 to 200 farms in 3 years
to supply honey and other by-products. |

Group 2 AGRICULTURAL
TOOLS AND SUPPLIES WHOLESALE & RETAIL |
The creation of
AGRICULTURAL WHOLESALE AND RETAIL locations may sounds difficult
but it is not. Why? We already must use a large variety of
fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, tools, equipments,
supplies, etc. We can set up our logistics by coordinating with
SAIGON CO-OP group or manage our own distribution. Further, our
products will provide consumers with guaranteed real and safe
products unlike many imports or domestically sold products which
are not. This operation can be a joint venture with
fertilizer/insecticide suppliers. |

How do we
finance these projects? |
We will seek to
develop one of these following method (1) Investment bonds or
shares from our own staff, farmers or industrial workers; (2)
Start-up funds from international sources; (3) Joint venture
funds from fertilizer/insecticide suppliers; (4) Investment
from local government leaders as partners so they can help us;
(5) Managers are recruited, trained from older farmers and
provided with a share of profit. |
Can we
create these retailers at low cost to Vietnamese users? |
Technically it is
not difficult for us to devise an organization and process as
we already have to products to sell (1) Must be able to import
certain supplies at low tax/duties or duty free like other
countries in exchange for a direct deposit of sales tax to
province; (2) We can negotiate special purchasing plans with
suppliers; (3) Creative financing and support by the
government to vendors (4) Knowing how to design other support
products and profit to lower the break-even point thereby can
lower the selling cost when necessary (5) With some funding assistance
from outside sources. |
Unlike many people
think, retail outlets can be developed profitably if we know how
to and already have to supply sources. Experience in agriculture
is excellent for us to develop other much needed products for
commercial uses not only to help our own farmers in cash-flow but
also as a location for their socialization, purchases of urgent
needs and selling other items for extra money. We can expand these
outlets as they can greatly generate profits to support education
schools within our organization and also to support local schools
so people will pay less or can go to school free. |

Group 3 : IMPORT
AND EXPORT SERVICES FOR OTHERS |
With our on-going
world-wide contacts, with our import-export operation systems and
working representatives at key locations overseas, it is an
excellent that we put this system to work to support other
exporters in Vietnam to expand their products or market. We also
can use these opportunities to help others to train our own staff
and to improve our own system and management by looking at errors
or issues we did not anticipate; Working with other products will
also provide us with in-dept knowledge of the export economy,
their weaknesses and disadvantages in products or in operations
and thereby can better assist these companies to improve their
sales. This operation does not add ANY cost to us, does not
require us to invest except time and it can provide us with extra
income to pay for our own expenses. |

do better that other export companies do know already know? |

How do we
finance these projects? THESE BUSINESSES DO NOT REQUIRE
ADDED MONEY. |
How can we
overcome the problems as noted above when doing businesses
with Vietnamese companies? |
1)
Distrust and theft of industrial secrets:
CLEARLY DEFINE
BUSINESS PLANS AND INTENTIONS WITH CLARITY AS TO MUTUAL
RESPECT OF INDUSTRIAL OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES VIA
NON-DISCLOSURE AND BUSINESS PROPERTY AGREEMENTS |
2)
Vietnamese must clarity, honesty, integrity in business
practices:
DISCUSS AND EDUCATE OTHERS AS TO THE BENEFITS AND PRACTICES OF
BUSINESS CLARITY, HONESTY AND INTEGRITY WHILE RESPECT THE
"VIETNAMESE STYLE" |
3)
Problems with on-time payment:
MUST HAVE AN AGREEMENT OR TO HAVE ADVANCE PAYMENT |
4)
Differences in promised products and delivered products:
MUST HAVE
ACTUAL PRODUCTS OR PRODUCT SPECS AND TO ESTABLISH WORKING
PROCEDURES WITH EVIDENTIARY QUALITY CHECKS AND VERIFICATION
THAT WILL BE UNDERSTOOD BY CUSTOMERS AND EXPORTERS. |
5)
Always use government as an excuse to avoid responsibilities:
FOR EXAMPLE, BLAMING CUSTOMS OR GOVERNMENT FOR PAPERWORK. THIS
MUST BE CLEARLY EXCLUDED FROM WORKING AGREEMENT |
6)
Lacking of record keeping and over-depend on "coffee-shop
negotiation":
IT IS IMPORTANT TO RESPECT AND ENJOY THIS INFORMAL STYLE BUT
LEARN TO USE IT TO BOTH PARTIES' ADVANTAGES BY CLEARLY CLARIFY
AND CONCLUDE BUSINESS ISSUES AT THE TABLE |
Providing import and
export services for others cost us nothing but will increase
benefits for both parties while contributing to the growth of the
export economics for Vietnam. There are always problems working
with others but these problems can be wisely but amicably
addressed by carefully respecting their styles but honestly
working harder to support their products and their business. |

Group 4: AGRICULTURAL BY-PRODUCTS
& ASSISTING OTHER
COMPANIES IN THEIR PRODUCTS |
The development of
By-Products are essential for every agricultural crop under
planning. They play important role in strengthening that product
line as well as the entire agricultural system of the country when
successfully done. But if not correctly done, it becomes a damage
to the organization therefore we will not allow such plan to be
carried out if not well designed. We also need to look at other
By-products outside of our operations especially those By-Products
that can contribute to the easing the damages on the environment
such as the trash or illegal dumping problems. If such
profitability and feasibility is high, it will help us to support
other By-Product Plans. |
Sub-group
4-A:
AGRICULTURAL BY-PRODUCTS |
We must develop at
least 1 set of by-products in each of the edible group of crops
we grow except ornamental, tree and similars. These are not new and
well-known in the market and in Vietnam but we must do them to
meet international standards from preparation, finished products
to packaging and labeling. These designs are done by Product
Design and Engineering Team of VINAREX. Each project is planned
based on its schedule and progress. Centralized Processing and
Packaging Factory will be established until more sites become
financially feasible. Details cannot be included on this website

ASSIST IN IMPROVING EXISTING BY-PRODUCTS MADE IN VIETNAM BY
OTHER COMPANIES |
Compared to
by-products made in China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia and even the
Philippines, Vietnam-made agricultural by-products are with BETTER
TASTES and VARIABLES but unfortunately not well perceived or even
trusted in the West. There are valid bases as well as misleading
information from competitors in other countries. However we need
to take a closer look at what are not done correctly and prepare a
well-designed program to assist, improve our products especially
in the preparation sanitation, processing in bacteria-free
environment, storage and delivery to packaging problems. |

Group 5 : PACKAGING
DESIGN AND SUPPLIES FOR OTHERS |
With our own products
to package and with an organized group, with knowledge and
experiences in packaging, it is a great Idea that we put this system to work to support other
exporters in Vietnam to improve their packaging for a better sale
by solving the issues and redesign them to increase values to
world market. Working with other domestic companies, it will help
us to know where and how to improve ourselves, where and how to
help others to increase their profit. By doing so, we are taking
part in improving the economy of Vietnam. This operation does not add ANY cost to us, does not
require us to invest except time and it can provide us with extra
income for our farmers to pay for expenses and more jobs for the
farmers' family members. |
What are
the types of packaging we can service others? |
FLEXIBLE/MULTILAYER FLEXIBLES - ALU, ALU LAMINATED - NY VACUUM
BAGS - COPP, OPP, CPP, PETE, HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PP,
THERMOFORM, BLISTER - GRAY PAPER BOARD - WHITE PAPER BOARDS -
FROZEN FOOD KRAFT PAPER BOARDS - LAMINATED WHITE PAPER -
RECLOSEABLE HDPE - CORRUGATED E, B, F PACKAGING FOR FAST FOOD
OR COMMERCIAL USE |
What can we
do better that other food companies do know already know about
packaging? |
Most
Vietnam-produced products are lacking of precise and effective
package presentation to attract international customers. This
is caused from (a) Many don't take their packaging seriously
(b) Many lacking of a technical knowledge of material
properties and engineering and (c) Their artistry and
packaging design made to suit themselves or the artist instead
of customers. With more experience with products from an
international viewpoint and with an industrial engineering
knowledge, we can help to make improvements so many can expand
their markets outside of the Vietnamese communities. |

for 30 to 50% of the selling depending on the
product and must be taken seriously and done professionally
especially when in export. We need to even take things more serious. As professionals and
engineers in the international market, we may be able to help Vietnamese food producers
to build or improve on their packaging to suit the market and
to increase the sales potential. |
