SAO MAI GROUP PARTNERS WITH CAN THO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS FOR A PRACTICAL LEARNING AND FIELD STUDY JOURNEY

On the morning of November 6th, at the Vam Cong Industrial Complex (An Thanh Hamlet, Lap Vo Commune, Dong Thap Province), Sao Mai Group warmly welcomed a delegation of lecturers and students from the Marketing department of the School of Economics – Can Tho University, for a practical learning and field study tour. This is one of the meaningful activities aimed at connecting academia with industrial practice, giving students the opportunity to get a closer look at the operations of a leading enterprise in Vietnam's seafood industry.

Here, the delegation was introduced by the Plant Management Board of the Vam Cong Industrial Complex to Sao Mai Group's integrated seafood production model – a complete value chain, from breeding and farming, to processing and producing value-added product lines for both domestic and international markets.

Each stop was a vivid, practical lesson, where students could witness professional operational processes, advanced technology lines, and how Sao Mai implements its sustainable and eco-friendly production model.
