According to Vo Van Nghiem, manager of rice-bran oil extraction, there are abundant raw materials in the form of fresh rice bran in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta region, but the resource is not tapped efficiently. The company has taken advantage of this raw material to extract high-quality rice-bran oil for the cooking oil industry, making use of domestic production for local consumption and exports.
By using advanced German extraction technology and applying the management methods of the Quality Management System ISO 9001:2008 and Food Safety Management System, Wilmar Agro Vietnam Co., Ltd., has been able to exploit the abundant resource of raw rice bran in the Mekong Delta. Defatted rice bran, the product of oil extraction, is a premium material for animal feed and the aquaculture production industry. Producing brands such as Cam Vang, Kim Ngu and Kim Tru has made the company an important supplier of good quality rice bran for feed and poultry production mills and factories across the country, especially in the Mekong Delta and the Southeast region. Due to its relentless efforts to ensure quality, Wilmar Agro Vietnam was selected as the long-term partner of feed production mills and ranks amongst the leading export enterprises in the country, such as Proconco and Vinh Hoan 1.
Apart from its rice-bran oil extraction plant, which covers 4ha of land in Hung Phu 1 Industrial Zone Park, the company has two other branches in Thot Not Industrial Park of Can Tho City and Cai Be District of Tien Giang Province, with a total capacity of 2,400 tonnes of rice bran per day. To meet the requirement of raw materials to ensure this capacity, the company plans to open more collection and processing rice bran centers in Mekong Delta. Besides this, sales and distribution activities for these products have been promoted throughout the country based on the company’s vision of becoming the leading enterprise in the field of oil extraction from rice bran and in the rice bran and oil sector in Việt Nam, in general.
In addition, Wilmar Agro Vietnam has taken a leading role not only in production but also in environmental protection and the conservation of green values. The companys oil extraction plants are also equipped with a standard wastewater treatment system and are connected to the centralised sewage treatment system of the industrial park. In production and business, the company has always updated itself and complied with the regulations and laws of the State and local government on environmental protection, security and fire safety.
Regarding solid waste, the company has signed a contract with an environmental company to collect and transport some 5,000 kg of solid waste per month. Each plant has its own environmental safety board, with five employees and warehouses for storing hazardous waste in accordance with regulations to limit the impact on the environment. The company was recognised as one of the Top 40 green businesses of Việt Nam by Saigontimes, a reputable economic magazine, for its successful application of a husk boiler system. This system replaced diesel oil with husks, saving both fuel and production costs and helping to solve the problem of waste husk causing river pollution. The system also reduces emissions into the environment.
In addition to expanding its production capacity and business, the company also focuses on pursuing corporate social responsibility initiatives. Its activities include supporting victims of Agent Orange, supporting the lives of the lonely elderly and families experiencing hardships, building houses for poor families, awarding scholarships to poor but intelligent students and offering gifts to handicapped children. The company strives to provide the most practical benefits that not only contribute to helping people overcome their difficulties but also give them hope for a brighter future.
Human resources is the pride of the company and part of its development strategy, affirming its core values of leadership, integrity, cooperation and innovation, as well as quality and people. Wilmar Agro Vietnam provides high remuneration and a safe workplace for its professional, enthusiastic workforce, as well as domestic training programs and useful outdoor activities that help the employees improve their skills, boost their creativity and bolster their confidence and long-term commitment to the company.
A successful development strategy built on a foundation of large-scale production, modern technology and a professional workforce has helped Wilmar Agro Vietnam affirm the value of a leading enterprise contributing to the national livestock industry and making strides towards improving integration.
