Nafoods successfully raised 160 billion VND in 'green capital' from ResponsAbility.
On September 23rd, in Zurich, Switzerland, Nafoods Group Joint Stock Company signed a strategic cooperation agreement with responsAbility Investments AG (an investment management company in Switzerland) and successfully raised 160 billion VND in green capital.
"Green capital" refers to funds raised to finance projects or activities that benefit the environment, such as renewable energy, green transportation, and especially sustainable agricultural development.
Accordingly, representatives from Nafoods (NAF) and responsAbility Investments AG (RIAG) officially signed a cooperation agreement worth US$6 million (equivalent to VND 160 billion) in Zurich, Switzerland.
Funding from responsAbility will be used to supplement working capital, invest in upgrading processing capacity, minimize post-harvest losses, and support Nafoods' climate-adaptive business model.

We believe this collaboration will contribute to creating a sustainable agricultural value chain in Vietnam, as Nafoods is one of the leading fruit processing companies in Southeast Asia. This company not only promotes food security but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions and supports smallholder farmers.

Nafoods affirms that the participation of ESG-oriented investors is a positive sign for its governance capabilities, long-term growth prospects, and demonstrates that the group is a reputable destination for international green capital.
Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and General Director of Nafoods Group, stated that green capital from responsAbility is of particular importance in realizing Nafoods' 2025-2030 Strategy, contributing to making Nafoods a pioneering group in developing a digitized, green, and sustainable agricultural chain. We aim to become the leading fruit exporter in Vietnam with a sustainable orientation, maintaining our number one position in passion fruit seedlings and successfully developing Nafoods consumer product brands..

Thus far, Nafoods has successfully raised over 680 billion VND, including over 520 billion VND from the Netherlands Enterprise Development Bank (FMO) previously. This capital inflow contributes to strengthening its financial potential and provides impetus for Nafoods to accelerate its transformation strategy, aiming for a revenue target of 200 million USD by 2030.
In the second quarter of 2025, Nafoods Group also recorded impressive production and business results, achieving net revenue of over VND 680 billion (a 54% increase year-on-year) and after-tax profit of VND 58.7 billion (a 14.7% increase year-on-year), the highest level ever. For the first six months of the year, the group's revenue reached nearly VND 1,030 billion (a 37% increase year-on-year), and after-tax profit reached VND 71.6 billion (an 11.9% increase year-on-year); at the same time, selling and administrative expenses were significantly optimized.

In addition, Nafoods has commenced Phase 2 of the Nasoco Factory Project (Tay Ninh), aiming to enhance its capacity for deep processing of agricultural products (concentrated juice, puree/NFC, IQF, etc.) as well as develop consumer products to serve both international and domestic markets with international standards.
This is also part of the effort to improve and expand the green agricultural value chain, in which institutions such as FMO and RIAG are working closely with Nafoods.
On the stock market, NAF shares have recorded positive performance with high liquidity, and the current share price is at its highest level in the last 3 years, reflecting investors' confidence in Nafoods' sustainable growth prospects.
