what we can offer

Trial design & implementation

We support the introduction of your production method, plant variety, feed ingredient or other technology by designing and implementing trials at our R&D locations or with local farmers. We then provide you with valuable feedback on the performance of your method or technology, allowing you to make informed decisions before taking the next steps in bringing your product to market.

Consumer research

At our food lab we research consumer preferences and perceptions regarding food and unravel the rational behind these preferences and perceptions. This knowledge provides valuable insights regarding product selection for introduction to the Vietnamese market, as well as identifying the key messages to communicate to consumers for the successful introduction of a new product.

Product testing

At our R&D locations we can test the performance of your product or technology in controlled and well-managed trials. These trials give a clear understanding how your product or technology performs under local conditions.

Product and technology demonstration and introduction

The most effective way for you to convince potential clients about the added value of your product is to let clients see the results with their own eyes. At our R&D locations we implement your product or technology and then share the results with local farmers and other potential clients, tangibly demonstrating how it works and its effects.
