According to the study, the Sachi (Sacha Inchi) plant is originated in the Amazon forest, where indigenous INCA people have used for thousands of years as a health and longevity food supplement. Sachi is currently being grown in some Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, etc. In Vietnam, Inca Vietnam joint Stock Company being operated by Ms. Le Thi Van is the first company to conduct planting trials and mass commercialization of Sachi trees.

Recalling the failure of planting Sachi plants in Da Bac upland, Ms. Van said that it was due to the lack of experience and doing, vice versa, she found out, analyzed the cause and inadequate problems to overcome. Throughout the year of 2016, she coordinated with Associate Professor Tram to study, formulate the process of developing raw materials area. Along with that, she travels throughout the districts, cities in the province, including the surrounding provinces to promote, advocate, and find growers. However, she did not continue planting in the failed area.

Thanks to her passion and enthusiasm, up to now, Sachi material plantation area has been expanded to 10 out of 11 districts and city (excluding Lac Thuy district) with an area of ​​50 hectares inside and 50 hectares outside the province. Although the plantation is in the model stage, Sachi trees have initially created trust for farmers by bringing in stable income and output. The Company contracts with household groups and organizes the purchase of all raw materials of the farmers with 10-year contracts. Not only did the Company harvest Sachi fruit like other businesses, but it also bought leaves for growers. "Seeing is better than hearing", when the actual results are clear, the reliability of the growers for the business is improved. The Sachi growers feel more believable that they can get the long-term income from Sachi plantation, because the plantation circle of Sachi trees is about ten years, they do not worry about the output, and the income is 3-5 times higher than growing corn and rice.
