Six years ago, right before COVID-19 hit, I stood in a muddy construction zone. The founder—a man truly obsessed with poultry—was building a high-tech black chicken (gà ác) farm. A banker from Agribank accompanied us, confirming a massive $10 million USD investment.
Returning to the farm today, the transformation is stunning.
What impressed me most wasn’t just the automated housing or the closed-loop CompoTower system—which automatically processes chicken manure into high-grade organic fertilizer. It was a simple question I asked over lunch: How did a brand-new plant survive launching right into global lockdowns of Covid?
The partner smiled: “In crisis lies opportunity. Demand for nutrient-dense food skyrocketed. We sold out of eggs every single day.”
Behind that success lies an “unseen” asset that global buyers often take for granted: Vietnam’s national and geopolitical stability.

Under strong single-party governance, Vietnam demonstrated unmatched administrative capability during the pandemic, keeping essential supply corridors open and production secure.

Equally important, Vietnam’s proactive foreign policy has secured 17 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) globally. For international buyers, this means significantly reduced import tariffs, streamlined customs procedures, and a lower technical barrier to entry—delivering an unbeatable price advantage compared to non-FTA sourcing destinations.
Vietnam isn’t just building resilient, high-tech factories—it provides the steady, cost-effective anchor that modern global supply chains need.
