Agricultural complex worth $13.3 million starts construction in Son La, overseen by Mavin.
In a significant development for the agricultural sector, Mavin Group, led by Chairman David John Whitehead, has announced the construction of the Mavin Mai Son complex in the Mai Son district of Northwest Vietnam. The aim of this ambitious project is to transform the region into a beef production hub.
The Mavin Mai Son complex, spanning over 109,579.3 square metres, will be a multi-faceted endeavour. It will house an agricultural products processing factory with a capacity of 300,000 tonnes per year, as well as an animal feed production plant capable of producing 200,000 tonnes annually.
The total investment for this project is VND350 billion ($13.3 million). Mavin Group views this as a significant milestone in its sustainable development journey, having recently signed a Sustainability Linked Loan Agreement with HSBC Vietnam.
The Mavin Mai Son factories will be equipped with modern processing technologies in line with international standards. This commitment to innovation is evident in Mavin Group's plans to build a meat processing plant as part of the complex.
In addition to modernising agriculture, Mavin Group also aims to foster cooperation. A recent high-tech agricultural conference held in Queensland, Australia, by TTC AgriS and its subsidiary Global Mind Australia (GMA), in collaboration with Tay Ninh People's Committee, underscores this commitment.
Mavin Group's efforts to promote sustainable agriculture don't stop at Vietnam. The company is also planning to expand operations in the Northwest, including investing in large-scale, high-tech farming complexes.
Moreover, Mavin Group is looking to develop cooperative farming models with local households. This approach aligns with the mission of HUSK, a pioneer in biochar-based fertilisers, which aims to provide sustainable soil regeneration solutions for smallholder farmers.
In a positive step towards this goal, the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD) has approved origination support for HUSK to expand biochar-based fertiliser solutions in Vietnam and Cambodia.
As Mavin Group moves forward with the Mavin Mai Son project, the scheduled start of production in 2026 promises to bring about transformative changes in the Northwest Vietnamese agricultural landscape.
