Mít Vegan: the farmer who bred a red-fleshed jackfruit, then turned discarded young jackfruit into "plant-based meat"

Nguyễn Viết Vị was not born in jackfruit country. He grew up in Thái Bình, studied finance and worked for a Taiwanese agricultural company before moving to Chơn Thành in 2006 to start out with a guava orchard. More than a decade later he did something few farmers do: he bred his own red-fleshed jackfruit, PT79, a large fruit with crimson flesh, and had the variety registered for protection. He then built the Phước Thiện cooperative into a GlobalG.A.P.-certified jackfruit growing area with 22 members and around 150 contract households across more than 1,000 hectares. He was a National Outstanding Farmer in Production and Business for 2023–2025, chairs the Club of Outstanding Farmers of Đồng Nai, and on 12 October 2026 in Hanoi was honoured as an Outstanding Vietnamese Farmer of 40 Years of Đổi Mới and Integration. The Phước Thiện Cooperative he directs is a national model cooperative.

When the jackfruit price collapsed, the waste became the main product

Fresh jackfruit prices sometimes fall through the floor, while young and reject fruit are left lying about the orchard. The cooperative decided to build a "green food" plant: treating the latex, preparing young jackfruit and processing it into what Vị calls plant-based meat. From early 2024, jackfruit pâté, jackfruit salad, jackfruit chả lụa (Vietnamese pork-style roll) and jackfruit sausages appeared one after another; today the Mít Vegan brand has 12 vegan products, among them jackfruit chả lụa made with about 75% young jackfruit, spring rolls, dumplings, sausages, pâté, jackfruit braised with cashews, young jackfruit flour and canned young jackfruit. The plant buys young jackfruit from farmers at VND 5,000 a kilo and processes around five tonnes of jackfruit a day.

"If agriculture is to grow sustainably, it cannot stop at producing raw materials," Vị says. "We are farmers of the integration era, digital farmers."

The cooperative's PT79 red-fleshed jackfruit holds OCOP 4-star status and a registered growing-area code, and at one point it shipped two tonnes of vacuum-packed fresh jackfruit a week to the Netherlands. The cooperative's aim is for 70–80% of its output to go into processing for export.

At Green Business Matching Day

On the morning of 04.11.2026, Mít Vegan was among the Vietnamese companies that took the stage to present to Indian and international partners, and its booth, with fresh jackfruit set beside boxes of chả lụa and jackfruit pâté, was where many visitors lingered longest. For the Indian market, where young jackfruit is already a traditional dish, the story of jackfruit chả lụa from Đồng Nai needs little explaining.

Mít Vegan is one of the 21 sponsors of the programme.

Mít Vegan: người nông dân lai tạo giống mít ruột đỏ, rồi biến trái mít non bỏ đi thành "thịt thực vật"

Công ty Cổ phần Thực phẩm MIT VEGAN · HTX Thương mại – Dịch vụ Phước Thiện · Bù Đốp, Đồng Nai (Bình Phước cũ)

Ông Nguyễn Viết Vị không sinh ra ở xứ mít. Quê Thái Bình, học tài chính, từng làm cho một công ty nông nghiệp Đài Loan, năm 2006 ông về Chơn Thành khởi nghiệp bằng vườn ổi. Hơn mười năm sau, ông làm một việc mà ít nông dân nào làm: tự lai tạo giống mít ruột đỏ PT79, trái to, múi đỏ, được bảo hộ giống, rồi đưa HTX Phước Thiện thành vùng trồng mít đạt GlobalG.A.P. với 22 thành viên và khoảng 150 hộ liên kết trên hơn 1.000 ha. Ông là Nông dân sản xuất kinh doanh giỏi toàn quốc 2023–2025, Chủ nhiệm CLB Nông dân sản xuất kinh doanh giỏi TP. Đồng Nai, và ngày 12.10.2026 tại Hà Nội được vinh danh Nông dân Việt Nam xuất sắc 40 năm đổi mới và hội nhập. HTX Phước Thiện do ông làm Giám đốc là hợp tác xã điển hình quốc gia.

Khi giá mít rớt, phần bỏ đi thành sản phẩm chính

Mít tươi có lúc rớt giá sâu, còn mít non, mít dạt thì bỏ lăn lóc ngoài vườn. HTX quyết định xây nhà máy "thực phẩm xanh": xử lý mủ, sơ chế mít non và chế biến thành thứ mà ông Vị gọi là thịt thực vật. Từ đầu năm 2024, pate mít, salad mít, giò chả mít, xúc xích mít lần lượt ra đời; nay thương hiệu Mít Vegan có 12 sản phẩm chay: chả lụa mít với khoảng 75% mít non, chả giò, há cảo, xúc xích, pate, mít kho hạt điều, bột mít non, mít non đóng hộp. Nhà máy thu mua mít non của nông dân với giá 5.000 đồng một ký và chế biến khoảng 5 tấn mít mỗi ngày.

"Muốn nông nghiệp phát triển bền vững thì không thể chỉ dừng ở sản xuất nguyên liệu," ông Vị nói. "Chúng tôi là những nông dân của thời hội nhập, những nông dân số."

Mít ruột đỏ PT79 của HTX đạt OCOP 4 sao, có mã số vùng trồng, từng xuất mít tươi hút chân không sang Hà Lan 2 tấn mỗi tuần. Định hướng của HTX là 70–80% sản lượng đi vào chế biến cho xuất khẩu.

Tại Green Business Matching Day

Sáng 04.11.2026, Mít Vegan là một trong những doanh nghiệp Việt Nam lên sân khấu giới thiệu với các đối tác Ấn Độ và quốc tế, và gian hàng với những trái mít tươi bên cạnh hộp chả, pate mít là nơi nhiều khách dừng lại lâu nhất. Với thị trường Ấn Độ, nơi mít non đã là món ăn truyền thống, câu chuyện chả lụa mít từ Đồng Nai không cần nhiều lời giải thích.

Mít Vegan là một trong 21 nhà tài trợ của chương trình.

Tại lễ tri ân cuối chương trình, Mít Vegan được Ban Tổ chức vinh danh cùng 20 nhà tài trợ khác, với sự chứng kiến của ông Mohan Ramesh Anand (Nhà sáng lập & CEO Canopus Group), anh Thao Lê (Nhà sáng lập Ăn Chay TV) và anh Nguyễn Tiến Tuyến (Nhà sáng lập & CEO Chay Vietnam).

Green Business Matching Day Vietnam do INCHAM đồng tổ chức với Canopus, Ăn Chay TV và Chay Vietnam, với sự hỗ trợ từ phía Tổng Lãnh sự quán Ấn Độ tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh, thuộc Bộ Ngoại giao Ấn Độ.
