Hi, we are starting to work with a group called Bai Thuong Organic vegetables who are supported by AusAID. They are currently in conversion to full EU organic certification. This will take them about another 2 years to complete. However, the vegetables are produced according to EU organic guidelines. The other groups we are in discussion with are currently working under Eurepgap level standards which they have developed with METRO. We also just started to discuss with a group in Hoa Binh supported by JBIC to meet Japanese organic standards.

We produce EU organic certified tea products in Vietnam and also stock EU and USDA certified organic spices from Vietnam.

As you probably know, internationally certified organic production in Vietnam is just getting started because it is very difficult and expensive.

Hi, this group is a very nice idea. A lot of our shop customers have also shown interest in organic vegetables and in starting a vegetable buying group or club with regular deliveries. So now we are starting to link with some farmer groups and projects to see about quality, availability etc. and see if starting a buying club is feasible. If anyone has any information about good sources of organic vegetables or if you are interested in joining a buying club then feel free to send me a message. Thanks!

I was looking for hardy type vege seeds for plants like tomatoes and cucumber..I found some on 'plant street', haha. Don't know the proper street name unfortunately, does anyone else know it?

Hi! This is a great idea. As an organic vege gardener in Australia I've tried my luck with chives so far, but would love to find somewhere to source other vegetable seeds and plants. If anyone knows where I could pick some up that would be helpful! Oh... and for you energy conscious people out there cleaning those air conditioner filters does wonders!!!
