After nearly a year of negotiations, FMO’s decision to invest was based on Phuc Sinh’s governance transparency, sustainability initiatives, and global market potential. The partnership aims to enhance Phuc Sinh’s production capacity while supporting sustainable agricultural projects and advanced supply chain technology.

"Sustainable development is not just a trend but an essential path for long-term success", said Phan Minh Thong, Chairman of Phuc Sinh. "By integrating ESG principles, we strengthen our internal capabilities and open doors to collaboration with European funds. FMO’s rigorous due diligence validates the value of what we are building."
