AGRITAGE Vietnam

Agritage Vietnam Social Enterprise is dedicated to preserving and advancing Vietnamese Heritage Agriculture, with a vision of pioneering and expanding a sustainable agricultural ecosystem rooted in Vietnam’s cultural heritage. The name Agritage is a blend of “Agriculture” and “Heritage”, symbolizing its commitment to heritage agriculture.

The Heritage Agricultural Village model developed by Agritage Vietnam is built on five key pillars:

1. Sustainable livelihoods and food security
2. Agricultural biodiversity
3. Strong community structure
4. Preservation of natural landscapes
5. Protection of indigenous culture

Since 2019, Van Ho Heritage Agricultural Village – Agritage Van Ho (located in Chieng Yen commune, Van Ho district, Son La province) has served as Vietnam’s first Heritage Agricultural Village model. Operated by the Van Ho Dong Rung Cooperative and owned by the local community, this initiative has supported 58 Thai households in Ban Buot village to transition from chemical-based farming to organic agriculture. This shift has helped establish 12 hectares of PGS-certified organic rice and nut cultivation, while also developing a strong brand for high-quality agricultural products, now reaching markets in Hanoi.

Beyond organic farming, Agritage Van Ho has fostered community-based tourism, offering cultural and nature-based experiences that promote conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Building on this success, Agritage Vietnam continues its mission to replicate the Vietnamese Heritage Agriculture ecosystem in Cao Bang, Hoa Binh, and beyond.
