Famous in Vietnam with the title of “fresh milk woman”, Ms. Thai Huong is known as the person who brought high technology to dairy farming and milk processing, built a high-tech concentrated dairy farming capital with a scale of 45,000 cows in Nghe An and is expanding this model to many other provinces and cities; successfully created and operated a fresh milk production chain from farm to factory and distribution.
