Nguyen Anh Tuyet, hailing from a family steeped in the ancient art of herbal medicine, is transforming local medicinal herbs into high-value concentrated extracts, elevating their worth and healing potential.
The Tuyet Nhi cooperative’s herbal processing workshop in Cao Duong commune,
Luong Son district offers jobs to local workers, with a stable income ranging
from 5-6 million VND per month.
Tuyet's journey began with a deep-rooted passion
for preserving her family's herbal legacy while addressing the challenges faced
by local farmers. As the cultivation of medicinal plants like ca gai leo
(Solanum procumbens) and xa den (Celastrus hindsii) flourished, farmers
grappled with unstable markets and price manipulation by traders. Tuyet saw an
opportunity to stabilise the market and ensure fair prices for these precious
herbs.
In 2017, Tuyet registered her business,
committing to purchase xa den leaves at stable prices. However, she soon
encountered a significant hurdle: the dried xa den leaves were susceptible to
mold due to humidity, compromising their quality and usability. Undeterred, she
invested in technology to process these herbs into concentrated extracts,
preserving their potency and extending their shelf life.
After years of experimentation and perseverance,
Tuyet perfected the production process in 2020, creating a high-quality,
concentrated herbal extract with a distinct aroma and ease of use.
As customers recognised the convenience and
effectiveness of her products, Tuyet, along with six partners, established the
Tuyet Nhi cooperative in 2021, investing in a production facility with advanced
machinery and standardised operations under the HACCP quality management system
The cooperative’s herbal extracts gained
widespread trust for their ease of use and longer shelf life compared to raw
herbs, ensuring patients could access medicinal benefits without concerns about
spoilage.
Today, Tuyet has introduced 10 liquid and
powdered extracts to the market, most of which are produced on demand for
distribution companies. The ca gai leo and xa den extracts have been certified
as 4-star OCOP (One Commune One Product), with more certifications expected
this year.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
When requesting personal document verification and certification service at the one-stop-shop service section of Dong Tam Commune in Lac Thuy district, Nguyen Thanh Long, a resident of Dong Bong village, was both surprised and pleased with the professionalism and attitude of civil servants working there.
Hoa Binh province has harnessed its rich cultural heritage and human potential to forge the path towards sustainable development in the new era.
In Hoa Binh province, 11 traditional craft villages with more than 400 small-scaled production households have put in place a clean and green production model, establishing new standards for sustainable development. Waste collection sites and wastewater treatment facilities have been meticulously managed by local residents.
To make it easier for the residents to handle administrative procedures, Yen Bong Commune (Lac Thuy District) has identified the administrative reform as one of its key tasks. By implementing a range of synchronized solutions, the commune has seen the positive changes in the administrative reform, meeting the needs of its people.
Mai Chau district has firmly established itself as a standout destination on Vietnam’s tourism map, attracting both domestic and international visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and warm hospitality. However, beyond its natural and cultural charm, a secure and well-managed tourism environment has added to Mai Chau’s appeal.
