Grown with Israeli technology in the northern province of Vinh Phuc, the vegetables are as diverse as 20 kinds of baby veggies, namely baby broccoli, mizuna, mustard plants, kale, watercress, and more.
Additionally, VinEco also offers 12 kinds of hydroponic vegetables, including red-brown Batavia lettuce, romaine, and others.
The veggie supplier said that the greens are planted in greenhouse systems to keep pests at bay instead of using pesticides, and that the production is self-contained.
By the end of 2016, VinEco will have installed 55 hectares of greenhouse and 120 hectares of row covers to cultivate the vegetables in the northern region, the southern area, and the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong.
