After signing an investment memorandum with the provincial government in August 2025, the enterprise hopes to soon implement the projects to put them into operation.
Efforts to achieve the export target of 3 billion USD
In recent years, many areas of agricultural land in Gia Lai have been quickly covered with green by South American banana trees. Thousands of tons of bananas have been exported to many demanding markets. Bananas are popular, consumed strongly, bringing high profits to businesses.
Mr. Doan Nguyen Duc - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Hoang Anh Gia Lai Joint Stock Company said: "We are focusing on the agricultural sector. In Gia Lai alone, the enterprise has developed more than 3,000 hectares of bananas and 300 hectares of durian to meet GlobalG.A.P international standards. The pig farming system with a capacity of 500,000 pigs also applies a closed-ring model, using bananas as feed.
Gia Lai needs to ensure a large-scale cultivated area, with a full irrigation system, avoiding the situation of broken, small-scale production. The enterprise also recommended that the province soon issue a policy to attract long-term and stable investment, avoiding moderate changes that pose risks to investors.
Mr. Pham Anh Tuan - Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee - affirmed: "Western Gia Lai is a fertile basalt land, with conditions for developing many key agricultural crops with high export value such as coffee, durian, passion fruit, bananas... With an abundant labor force, this land will certainly not be poor".
Gia Lai aims to reach 3 billion USD in export turnover by the end of 2025. Statistics in the first 8 months of the year show that commodity industries recorded clear growth including: Seafood over 100 million USD, wood nearly 300 million USD, wood products 309 million USD, textiles over 255 million USD... Of which, coffee is the main export commodity with over 932 million USD; the rest is fruit, rubber latex, passion fruit, durian...
