- Business experiences: the Thu Nhon Co.Ltd is a proactive enterprise in Daklak Province in the field of trading and development of potentials of avocado, macadamia trees, which are considered to be very good for the health of consumers and suitable to the agro-climatic conditions of the province and to bring high incomes to farmers. However, the potentials of avocado, macadamia trees have not been properly exploited due to the lack of concerns from local competent authorities and other enterprises.
Having been experienced for 20 years in the production and trading of avocado fruits, macadamia nuts.... the enterprise has contributed to the diversification of agro-products and the generation of incomes for farmers in Daklak and has gained remarkable progress in the avocado, macadamia production sub-sector in Daklak such as:
- Creating and development of the DAKADO Trademark (Daklak Avocado), which is very well-known in the market;
- Bringing the high quality wax avocado of the Daklak Province with the DAKADO trademark to consumers through large supermarkets systems such as METRO, CO.OP MART, BIG C, VINATEXT, FIVIMART,…
- Exporting avocado fruits to the other markets;
- Adding values to the wax avocado, macadamia produce in the locality;
- Serving as a firm bridge for conveying agro-products directly from farmers to the consumers in the country and in the world.
Hopefully, with the commitment, enthusiasm and experiences of the enterprise staff and all the DAKADO Avocado, macadamia PP members, along with the ACP helpful assistance, our alliance will continue with gaining new achievements i.g. specializing the avocado, macadamia sub-sector in Daklak, integrating Vietnam’s agro-products into the international market, making a foundation for creation and development of a avocado, macadamia processing factory with some new products such as Avocado, macadamia oil and avocado powder, which are used for foodstuff and cosmetic sectors in the future.

5. Business Method of the Productive Partnership
- Producing and trading avocado fruits, macadamia nuts in the market demand driven approach with the VIETGAP AND GLOBAL GAP certifications ( Produce of high quality and highest profits must be ensured for all the PP partners)
- Benefits brought by the Project
- Yield : The yield will increase thanks to application of proper cultivation techniques and good practices in pruning, fertilizing and pest management ........through the ACP supported training in VIETGAP & GLOBAL GAP standards).
- Quality : The produce quality will be significantly improved thanks to investments with the financial supports provided by the ACP in tools and equipment for taking care of, planting, collection, transportation and post-harvest technologies. Consequently, the produce to be sold is harvested in time at the fully matured level; the post -harvest losses will be reduced and 90 % of the produce coming from the PP will reach the DAKADO wax avocado, macadamia standards. Furthermore, the production and collection activities of the FO will follow the same technical process so the produce quality will be uniform and will satisfy the requirements of big markets in the Asia such as Japan, China, Singapore and Hong Kong..... Therefore, the selling price will be higher and the farmers will get more profits from that.
- Economic effectiveness: Values will be added to avocado fruits, macadamia and the selling price will increase by 30 % thanks to the DAKADO trademark. However, the margin will be significantly increased thanks to reduction of the number of mediators in the supply chain. Working together in an alliance, the cost of inputs will be reduced for both enterprise and the FO. On the other hand, the avocado fruits, macadamia with VIET GAP and GLOBAL GAP certificates will be sold at a premium.
- The Productive Partnership will create a sustainable mutual relation between the FO and the AB in all the business activities, as well as in all the BDSs related to the production, processing and export chain....
