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.
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.
As Vietnam enters a new phase of economic and administrative reform in 2025, Hoa Binh province is stepping up its efforts to streamline governance, boost economic growth, and attract investment.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held its monthly meeting on March 26 to review the progress of key projects, assess budget revenue and public investment disbursement, provide feedback on draft documents for submission to the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board, and discuss other important matters related to the committee's governance activities.
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.
