Duong Dinh Khoi describes safe, clean vermicelli production

Entrepreneur Duong Dinh Khoi, one of the first safe, clean vermicelli producers and exporters in Son Lo Village said villagers use organic arrowroot planted on the Moc Chau Plateau in the northern mountainous province of Son La to make vermicelli, following a strictly controlled production process without coloring, chemicals and preservatives.

Khoi said his Duong Kien Trading, Production and Import Export Company Limited has technicians to strictly control raw materials and ensure they meet food hygiene and safety standards of both domestic and foreign markets. Almost all vermicelli production stages, except vermicelli drying, has been mechanized, he said. Vermicelli needs to be dried with wind and sunlight to ensure its quality and good taste, he added.

In 2020, the company procured a vermicelli production line worth almost VND650 million, VND300 million of which was funded by the Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade’s industry promotion program. The production line is energy and raw material efficient, and has helped the company reduce product cost, control environmental pollution and create one of the capital’s most notable products, introduced at numerous trade fairs and exhibition inside and outside Vietnam.
