Zurich, Switzerland – September 23, 2025, Nafoods Group JSC (HOSE: NAF) has entered into a strategic partnership with responsAbility Investments AG (Switzerland), successfully securing USD 6 million (equivalent to VND 160 billion) in green financing.
The new funding from responsAbility will be used to supplement working capital, upgrade processing capacity, minimize post-harvest losses, and promote climate-resilient agricultural models across Nafoods’ value chain.
Mr. Simon Hummel, Co-Head of Sustainable Food at responsAbility, emphasized:
“Nafoods is one of the leading fruit processing companies in Southeast Asia, contributing not only to food security but also to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting smallholder farmers. We believe this partnership will play an important role in building a sustainable food system in Vietnam.”
Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Vice Chairman of the Board and CEO of Nafoods Group, shared:
“The green capital from responsAbility and FMO holds strategic significance in realizing Nafoods’ 2025–2030 Strategy. Our goal is to become a pioneering agribusiness in developing a digitalized, green, and sustainable agricultural chain, maintaining our number one position in passion fruit seedlings, and successfully building Nafoods’ consumer product brands worldwide.”
With this transaction, Nafoods has now raised over USD 26 million in green financing, including more than USD 20 million previously secured from the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank (FMO). This strengthened financial position enables Nafoods to accelerate its transformation strategy towards sustainability and digitalization, with the long-term target of USD 200 million in revenue by 2030.
Nafoods also reported record-breaking business results in Q2 2025, with net revenue of over VND 680 billion (+54% YoY) and net profit of VND 58.7 billion (+14.7% YoY). For the first half of 2025, revenue reached nearly VND 1,030 billion (+37% YoY) and net profit stood at VND 71.6 billion (+11.9% YoY), while selling and administrative expenses were significantly optimized.
In addition, Nafoods has commenced Phase 2 of the Nasoco Factory (Tay Ninh), designed to expand its deep-processing capacity (concentrated juice, puree/NFC, IQF, etc.) and develop international-standard consumer products for both domestic and export markets. This initiative forms part of Nafoods’ commitment to advancing a sustainable agricultural value chain in close collaboration with partners such as FMO and responsAbility.
On the stock market, NAF shares have shown strong performance, with high liquidity and the highest trading price in over three years, reflecting investors’ confidence in Nafoods’ sustainable growth prospects.
