Farmers in Vietnam are adopting new methods to increase economic value and sustainability within their agricultural practices.

In Nghe An and Quang Ngai provinces, producers are transitioning from selling raw crops to deep processing models. This includes distilling periwinkle into essential oils and utilizing a fermentation process to produce pure noni juice from medicinal plants. These shifts aim to create higher revenue per crop cycle and more stable livelihoods through closed-loop production.

In Thai Nguyen, livestock farmers are focusing on cost reduction and circular economy principles. By producing their own probiotics from agricultural byproducts like rice bran and molasses, farmers have significantly lowered monthly expenses compared to purchasing commercial alternatives. This technique also assists in treating manure and producing organic fertilizer.
