The cooperation in building a sustainable potato production model between Yara Vietnam and PepsiCo Foods Vietnam is not only a commitment to action but also a comprehensive strategy in agriculture. The YaraSuna organic fertilizer model on potatoes helps improve soil structure and maintain ecological balance, while combining with reasonable mineral fertilizer solutions to create an optimal production model in terms of productivity, improving soil health and protecting the environment.
The two companies will work together to research nutritional solutions based on the Yara fertilizer product line to increase yield and quality of finished potatoes.
Yara Vietnam’s sustainable potato growing model with PepsiCo Foods Vietnam contributes significantly to improving people’s income, promoting community economic development, and contributing to the larger goal of sustainable food. Above all, the parties seek and expand potato growing areas in suitable geographical areas, helping to ensure raw material sources, maintain the stability of the agricultural ecosystem, and create a stable and flexible supply chain.

In addition, Yara Vietnam and PepsiCo Foods Vietnam jointly conduct training and transfer of knowledge on plant nutrition and sustainable farming to farmers, to ensure that farmers have the necessary knowledge to implement advanced and effective farming methods, helping them better understand the impact of nutritional solutions on the productivity and quality of agricultural products.
Ms. Tran Ngoc Thanh Truc - General Director of Yara Vietnam - said: "The cooperation between Yara Vietnam and PepsiCo Foods Vietnam will create consensus on a sustainable agricultural model in the potato farming community.
This model not only brings economic benefits to farmers through increased productivity and product quality, but also opens up opportunities for them to participate in a modern agricultural system, while ensuring gender equality by having more female farmers participate and encouraging systematization in the transfer of knowledge and techniques."
At the event, Yara Vietnam also shared its goals, set specific commitments and actions to "Create a green environment for a sustainable food future", by introducing the advanced nutritional solution YaraSuna.
The YaraSuna organic fertilizer application model on potatoes, implemented on the PepsiCo Foods farm, not only emphasizes the application of a specific solution, but also demonstrates the positive and practical effects that YaraSuna organic fertilizer brings to the soil environment and plants.
With strictly selected raw materials in Vietnam combined with production technology from Europe, YaraSuna organic fertilizer line when harmoniously combined with inorganic fertilizer will help farmers improve soil health, increase crop productivity, thereby contributing to creating a sustainable agriculture in Vietnam.
