Sweet fruit from innovative thinking: Vinafis Expo 2026's mark
The evening of April 28, 2026 is an unforgettable milestone for Nguyen Trung Tinh. At the Vietnam Seafood Exhibition Fair (Vinafis Expo 2026), the ZYME PLUS MAX X2 product researched by his startup excellently surpassed a series of competitors to win the Silver Gold Quality Award for Vietnam Seafood. This achievement is a valuable recognition from experts for the green technology orientation that Tinh persistently pursues.
ZYME PLUS MAX X2 is a high-end biological preparation, applying advanced native microorganisms, helping to thoroughly improve the farming pond environment, optimize the digestive system of shrimp and fish and has the ability to completely replace traditional chemical antibiotics - which are leaving many consequences for consumer health and ecosystems. The rise to become an innovative enterprise with this prestigious award has affirmed the pioneering role of young intellectuals in solving the thorny problems of the agricultural sector.
Holding the award in her hand, Tinh emotionally said: "Being recognized by society and the professional sector is a great honor. But the most core value is the opportunity to continue to contribute to the sustainable development of Vietnam's seafood industry, realizing the aspiration to create products with Vietnamese brands that are competitive internationally.
The journey of weaving the green road...
Behind the award podium is a long journey soaked in sweat. Once a poor student facing financial pressure, Tinh once thought about putting aside his university dream. Thanks to the timely support from the Nguyen Sinh Sac Scholarship Fund and his steadfast will, he stayed in the lecture hall.
Graduating with honors in aquaculture engineering (Ho Chi Minh City University of Agriculture and Forestry), Tinh chose to "reverse the flow". Instead of staying in the bustling city to work for large corporations, he brought his enthusiasm back to his hometown to start a business. Witnessing the reality of antibiotic abuse reducing the prestige of Vietnamese agricultural products and killing the environment, he was determined to change by choosing the most difficult path: R&D in biotechnology, creating antibiotic replacement solutions, towards circular agriculture and reducing emissions.
The transformation from laboratory engineer to manager is a harsh challenge. To make the green standard factory operate smoothly, he must cultivate it from the beginning. True to the spirit of "learning for life", the engineer diligently studied business administration, e-commerce, digital media and honed international negotiation skills, creating a solid biological enterprise in the face of market storms.
Ignite the aspirations of young people
At the 13th National Youth Union Congress, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized the core requirement for youth: Building a generation of Vietnamese youth who study for life, master science and technology, and be pioneers in innovation, digital transformation and international integration.
This strategic message has ignited the aspirations of millions of young people who are directly clinging to the land and the production village.
Deeply aware that digital transformation, the application of AI and biotechnology is a vital requirement to improve productivity, optimize costs and protect the ecosystem, Nguyen Trung Tinh is boldly accelerating with practical steps. Continuing to accelerate the application of indigenous microbial strains adapting to soil and digitizing Tinh's pond monitoring processes not only contributes to reducing emissions or building transparent supply chains, but also sends a strong message: Vietnamese youth can completely become a pioneering nucleus, steering the country's economic ship to reach out to the open sea, firmly integrate and develop sustainably.
