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.
Playing a key role in Hoa Binh province’s economic development, Luong Son district has been focusing on science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation.
Identifying the application of online public services as a key step in administrative procedure reform and e-government building, Kim Boi district has proactively provided services and supported residents and businesses in accessing and utilising full-process online public services promptly and efficiently. The locality aims to lift the rate of end-to-end online public services to over 90%, with all officials and civil servants handling tasks in the digital environment.
Nguyen Phi Long, an alternate member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, and head of the steering committee for the province's key projects, chaired a conference on March 25 to discuss measures for implementing the project on constructing the Hoa Lac - Hoa Binh road and upgrading the Xuan Mai - Hoa Binh section of National Highway 6 under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
