Along with cultivation following good agricultural practices, the 3T Cao Phong Agricultural Cooperative (3T Farm), located in Cao Phong town, Cao Phong district, focuses on researching and applying scientific techniques to produce processed products from fresh oranges. This not only helps diversify products but also promotes sustainable consumption while maximising the value of the fresh oranges grown in Cao Phong.


Fresh oranges carefully selected and pre-processed by 3T Farm before being sent to the marmalade processing machine.

With the goal of maintaining and enhancing the Cao Phong orange brand, the cooperative has implemented innovative and appropriate methods such as investing in production and processing technologies, avoiding the use of chemical fertilisers, and encouraging the use of organic agricultural materials to produce safe oranges, which are well-received by consumers. Furthermore, it has actively collaborated with local businesses and organisations to research and create new products to serve consumers. To increase value and expand its market reach, the cooperative has developed a specific production plan for processed products, with the first goal of creating products that meet the provincial OCOP (one commune, one product) standard.

With the support of local authorities, specialised units, and experts from Cao Phong district, the cooperative continues to improve the quality, design, and packaging of its processed products in preparation for the OCOP certification. Vu Thi Le Thuy, Director of 3T Farm, shared that in 2024, its detox tea was recognised as an OCOP 3-star product at the district level. Recently, this product was evaluated and recognised by the Council for the OCOP Programme as meeting the 4-star OCOP standard at the provincial level in 2024.

Continuing its journey to build an organic orange brand, 3T Farm persistently improves techniques, and invests in equipment, machinery, and technology to introduce new processed products made from Cao Phong oranges. With the benefits for consumers’ health, 3T Farm hopes that after their market debut, the products will get support from the public, especially women.
