World-class scale
Hearing the introduction of the vision, strategy and outstanding achievements of TH Group, the Minister of Agriculture of Kaluga Region could not help but be surprised by the rapid developments in the 14-year history of the Group's formation and development, especially the international success of the concentrated dairy farming model applying high technology, closed production from Nghia Dan land under the leadership of the Hero of Labor in the Vietnam Renovation Period - Ms. Thai Huong.
Not only effectively exploiting economic potentials, TH's closed production chain has helped change traditional production methods, attracted the participation of local people and completely changed the face of the socio-economy where the project is located.
Visiting the milking area of farm No. 3 - the "home" of 7,000 dairy cows out of a total of nearly 70,000 high-yield dairy cows imported from New Zealand and the US belonging to the TH farm cluster, the delegation of leaders of the Kaluga Region Government expressed their admiration for the professional and modern agricultural methods of a Vietnamese enterprise.
Here, with the method of managing the dairy herd through the Perometer chip worn on the cow's leg, all information about the cow's health is transmitted directly to the signal receiver box at the Milking Center and updated to the computer; the closed milking process, immediate cooling after milking and other processes in the giant operating system in the livestock area all meet the requirements of producing fresh, clean, and delicious milk.
The Minister of Agriculture of Kaluga Region also visited the giant raw material field with automatic irrigation arms of the Group. This field is assessed by the World Record Union experts as the largest Mombasa grassland in the world. Here, he was particularly interested in the effective harvesting method applying high technology that TH Group built itself, with the world's leading level of mechanization such as using John Deere SPFH 8500i, JD XP 1770 (12 rows), Kuhn, Claas, Fliegl...
Notably, TH owns all the machinery serving the production activities of the closed process, from bulldozers and excavators to reclaim land, plows, seeders, fertilizers, pesticide sprayers, watering and harvesting.
In 2015, TH dairy farm set a record for “Asia’s largest cluster of high-tech dairy farms and milk processing farms”, certified by the Asian Book of Records. For the first time in history, Vietnam’s livestock industry in general and Vietnam’s milk production and processing industry in particular have been named on the world milk map.
In December 2020, TH Farm continued to achieve the world record "The world's largest cluster of high-tech concentrated farms with a closed production process" certified by the World Record Alliance.
Currently, in addition to the farm clusters in Nghia Dan (Nghe An), Thanh Hoa and Phu Yen that have been put into operation, TH is continuing to build farms in Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Kon Tum, An Giang... and promoting investment in dairy farming and milk processing in a number of other provinces and cities. The farms will provide a large amount of clean, pure, high-quality fresh milk, meeting the domestic demand for fresh milk and officially exporting to potential markets such as China, ASEAN and other regions.
With a herd of nearly 70,000 dairy cows, TH Group is the largest enterprise investing in high-tech concentrated dairy farming in Vietnam. TH plans to expand its herd of concentrated closed-chain dairy cows to 200,000 by 2025 and link dairy farming with farmers. With this strong expansion process, TH contributes to the early realization of the goals of total cow herd as well as fresh milk production nationwide.
After 13 years of operation, TH is now firmly in the leading position in the urban retail market in the fresh milk segment with nearly 45% market share. Total consumer awareness of the brand is 100%. In addition, with the mission "For community health", TH also develops healthy drinks by launching many product lines such as: TH true NUT premium nut milk, TH true WATER purified water, TH true JUICE fruit juice... The total number of TH products by the end of 2022 is 140 products.
Attracting agricultural production enterprises applying high technology, green and clean production to invest in the area is the direction that Nghe An province is prioritizing and focusing on implementing. TH is an agricultural enterprise that has truly brought about great changes, contributing significantly to the development of sustainable and modern agricultural production.

Project of Dairy Farming and Milk Processing Complex in the Russian Federation
With love and sincere gratitude to the Russian Federation - the country that has made many noble gestures to help the Vietnamese people in the fight against foreign invaders, Ms. Thai Huong and TH Group chose Russia to implement the Dairy Cow Farming and Milk Processing Complex Project, not only to realize the aspiration of bringing fresh, clean milk products to the world market, but also with the desire to bring the best to the Russian people, where the Project is deployed.
The project was started on May 18, 2016 in Volokolamsk district, Moscow province, with a total investment of 2.7 billion USD within 10 years, implemented in 3 phases. Phase 1 has carried out the construction of farms and factories in Moscow and Kaluga provinces. The next phase will have projects in Tyumen province, Bashkortostan Republic and the Far East region. It can then be expanded depending on the actual production, business and market development.
Upon completion of the Project, the total number of cows is expected to be 350,000, the total milk processing capacity is 5,900 tons/day, equivalent to nearly 1.8 million tons/year, the total area of concentrated raw materials is 140 thousand hectares. TH true MILK milk products are expected to be distributed in Russia through traditional channels, supermarkets and TH true mart (300 stores). In September 2018, TH Group's milk processing factory with the largest capacity in Russia was started construction.
In January 2023, TH imported 2,400 high-yielding cows from the US and officially put the farm into operation. TH's dairy herd in Russia has a high-yielding genetic source, combined with high technology and advanced management science, the TH dairy farm has the highest average milk yield in Russia at about 40-41 liters/cow/day, 2.5 times higher than the average milk yield of Russia (only 17 liters/cow/day).
In addition, with the highest protein and fat content in Russia, the farm's raw milk is currently being sold to the largest dairy companies in Russia such as Danone, Torzhok, etc. at the highest prices on the market. These are the most important indicators proving the effectiveness of TH's project in Russia.
The investment project of TH Group in Kaluga Region is an important component in the overall project of investing in the TH dairy farming and fresh milk processing complex in the Russian Federation with all the components that TH has deployed in Nghia Dan, Nghe An and is a model to visualize what TH will develop in the Russian Federation in general and Kaluga in particular.
Currently, TH has received 20,000 hectares of cultivated land in Kaluga, reclaimed and cultivated over 8,000 hectares of wheat, barley, corn, alfalfa grass, ryegrass grass... Up to now, the project implemented by TH is the largest and most modern project in Kaluga.
Believing that what TH has built and operated in Vietnam will be a premise and valuable experience for success in Kaluga province, the Minister of Agriculture of Kaluga Region also shared: "By making this visit, I want to immediately have accurate information from a foreign investor with the potential and experience to implement the most famous livestock and milk processing project in Vietnam. From there, I will have the opportunity to quickly get acquainted with the agricultural sector in the region and learn about the development prospects of this industry. TH's project will have a very positive impact on the economy, develop jobs and ensure increased food security for Kaluga.
“We are very impressed with the scale, management and operation process of the factory. In particular, you have an international team, from foreign experts from countries such as India, Austria, Israel and the way you coordinate work with them makes us admire, learn many valuable lessons for ourselves. Kaluga is a province with great potential for agricultural development, currently in the area there are more than 400,000 hectares of land that have not been put into production.
Therefore, we hope that you will not only stop this project but also continue to invest more. From the local government side, we will support as much as possible in improving procedures and mechanisms to attract investment, and resolve outstanding problems so that all reputable investors such as TH Group have confidence and opportunities for sustainable development in Kaluga," Mr. Efremov Alexander Viktorovich affirmed.
“I really hope that the success that TH Group has achieved in Vietnam will quickly be replicated in Kaluga, where TH is actively building high-tech dairy farm clusters and the clean fresh milk processing plant with the highest productivity in the Russian Federation.”
Mr. Efremov Alexander Viktorovich- Minister of Agriculture of Kaluga Region.
Up to now, in addition to Kaluga province, TH Group's project in Russia has also made steady progress in Moscow province, Primoskiy (Far East) and the Republic of Bashkortostan. In Moscow province, TH has inaugurated phase 1 of a dairy farm cluster with a scale of about 12,000 dairy cows. Currently, there are nearly 3,000 dairy cows in this area, bringing the total number of dairy cows TH is raising in the Russian Federation to nearly 6,000. The project has become a bright spot in the Vietnam - Russia economic cooperation relationship and promises resounding successes ahead./.
