Pioneering value creation from aloe vera and nata de coco

Established in 2011, GC Food is currently a leading company in Vietnam’s aloe vera and nata de coco market, with its export network expanding to over 27 countries. What sets GC Food apart is its fully integrated production model, following a “farm-to-table” approach.

GC Food’s aloe vera raw material area in Ninh Thuan is cultivated in accordance with VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.

GC Food owns over 200 hectares of aloe vera plantations in Ninh Thuận, with an average yield of around 550 tons per hectare per year, meeting VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards. This enables consistent quality control and clear traceability. In addition, its in-vitro tissue culture technology produces approximately 3 million seedlings annually, providing a strong foundation for future expansion.

Currently, GC Food operates two major factories: VietFarm (Khanh Hoa) and Vinacoco (Dong Nai), with a combined capacity of about 30,000 tons of nata de coco per year. Notably, the Vinacoco factory supplies around 6 million liters of coconut water annually. Meanwhile, a 250-hectare raw material area in Ben Tre yields approximately 15,000 tons of finished nata de coco.

The closed-loop production process enables GC Food to maintain strict quality control from raw materials to finished products.

At the same time, its manufacturing system is equipped with advanced technologies such as IQF, Aseptic, and UHT, meeting international standards including Organic USDA, FSSC 22000, FDA, HALAL, and KOSHER.
