On 30 June 2026, Mavin Group participated in the Lai Chau Investment Promotion Conference 2026, held in Hanoi under the theme "Lai Chau - Unlocking Potential, Creating Opportunities." The conference was a major investment promotion event attended and directed by Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Tra, Member of the Party Central Committee and Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, alongside leaders from central ministries and agencies, international organizations, and a large number of domestic and international investors and businesses.
The conference provided an opportunity for Lai Chau Province to showcase its strengths, development vision, and priority investment projects while strengthening connections with the business community. During the event, the province awarded investment policy approvals and signed a number of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with a total committed investment value of more than VND 172 trillion, reaffirming Lai Chau's growing appeal to strategic investors.
Mavin Shares Its Vision for High-Tech Agricultural Investment
Speaking at the conference, Mr. David John Whitehead, Chairman of Mavin Group, highlighted Lai Chau's strong potential for developing high-tech agriculture, citing its abundant land resources, favourable natural conditions, rich agricultural raw materials, and the province's commitment to sustainable agricultural development.
Mr. David John Whitehead, Chairman of Mavin Group, delivers his remarks at the conference.
Mr. Whitehead emphasized that, with Mavin's experience in developing its integrated "Farm to Table" value chain, the Group is committed to partnering with Lai Chau in building modern, technology-driven agricultural models that create greater value for the province's agricultural sector.
Investing in an Integrated High-Tech Agricultural Complex
At the conference, Mavin presented its proposed investment in an integrated high-tech agriculture and livestock complex in Muong Kim and Muong Than communes, with a total planned investment of over VND 580 billion.
The proposed project includes an animal feed manufacturing plant, an agricultural processing facility, high-tech pig breeding centres, a poultry breeding centre, and an organic fertiliser plant. All facilities are designed to operate within an integrated value chain, incorporating a circular economy model to optimise resource utilisation, improve production efficiency, and minimise environmental impact.
Under this model, locally sourced agricultural products will be processed into raw materials for animal feed production. The feed will support high-tech breeding and livestock operations, while livestock waste will be recycled into organic fertiliser for agricultural production, creating a sustainable closed-loop production system.
Contributing to Lai Chau's Economic Development
Beyond improving agricultural productivity, the proposed investment is expected to support Lai Chau's strategy of developing high-tech agriculture and promoting a circular economy. Once operational, the project will contribute to modernising agricultural production, increasing the value of local agricultural products through processing, creating hundreds of local jobs, and generating stable revenue for the provincial budget.
In addition to its direct economic benefits, the project is also expected to enhance Lai Chau's investment attractiveness, creating a ripple effect that encourages further investment in agricultural processing, logistics, and supporting industries.
Mavin's Long-Term Commitment to Lai Chau
As a company operating an integrated "Farm to Table" value chain, Mavin believes that sustainable business growth goes hand in hand with the sustainable development of the communities in which it invests.
Through its participation in the Lai Chau Investment Promotion Conference 2026, Mavin reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the provincial authorities to further study, refine, and implement investment projects aligned with the province's development planning. With its expertise, experience, and long-term vision, Mavin looks forward to partnering with Lai Chau in advancing high-tech agriculture, promoting a circular economy, enhancing the value of agricultural products, and contributing to the province's sustainable socio-economic development in the years ahead.
