On the morning of May 20, 2026, the high-value livestock sector of Khanh Hoa Province marked an important milestone with an official field inspection by a senior agricultural delegation.
The 6-member delegation included:
- Mr. Võ Văn Công – Deputy Director of the Khanh Hoa Department of Agriculture and Environment, in charge of Veterinary Medicine and Plant Protection.
- Mr. Nguyễn Văn Dũng – Director of the Khanh Hoa Agricultural Extension Center.
The delegation visited the large-scale civet farm in Suối Sâu Village, Nam Ninh Hòa Commune, Ninh Hòa Town, Khanh Hoa Province. This core facility belongs to the Ninh Hòa Livestock Cooperative, managed directly by the farm owner Mr. Nguyễn Hữu Thiện (born in 1989) with specialized technical support from agricultural engineer Mr. Nguyễn Phương Bảo.
Standardized Operations And Strict Veterinary Protocols
The civet farming model in Suối Sâu deviates from traditional, spontaneous methods. The facility features a scientifically designed layout with independent cages separating breeding and commercial herds. Combining the sharp business acumen of a young entrepreneur like Mr. Thien and the practical knowledge of engineer Nguyen Phuong Bao has established a strict biosecurity system that optimizes clean, natural food sources.
During the working session, Mr. Võ Văn Công highly commended the proactive disease prevention measures and periodic disinfection protocols applied at the farm. Effective veterinary management safeguards the assets of the cooperative and guarantees the quality of breeding stock supplied to the provincial market.
Market Orientation And Regulatory Backing
Operating under a cooperative framework creates a sustainable value chain for local farmers in Nam Ninh Hòa. The Director of the Agricultural Extension Center, Mr. Nguyễn Văn Dũng, confirmed that this model represents a highlight in circular agricultural economics, showing significant potential for replication due to high commercial value and stable market demand.

The official visit by Khanh Hoa agricultural leaders validates the strategic direction of the Ninh Hòa Livestock Cooperative. This regulatory endorsement serves as a solid foundation for the Suối Sâu civet brand to scale operations and consolidate its leading position in the high-value specialty livestock market.
