In the vibrant atmosphere of March 2026, Hoa Hiep Fish Sauce was deeply honored to welcome a high-level delegation from Daejeon City (South Korea) for a visit and working session at our factory in Cai Nhum Commune, Mang Thit District, Vinh Long Province.
This is a significant event, marking a new milestone in promoting the essence of traditional Vietnamese cuisine to the international market, particularly to potential partners from South Korea.
A Journey to Discover the “Taste of Heritage” in Mang Thit
During the working session, members of the Daejeon delegation showed special interest in the traditional fish sauce production process—a source of pride for the people of Vinh Long in general and Hoa Hiep in particular for over six decades.
The delegation personally observed the natural fermentation process using fresh anchovies and sea salt. Members expressed their admiration for the harmonious combination of traditional brewing methods, which preserve the full natural flavor, and the meticulousness in the packaging stage, ensuring stringent food safety standards.
Connecting Vietnamese – Korean Culinary Cultures
During the discussion, representatives from Hoa Hiep Fish Sauce shared insights into the culinary similarities between the two nations. Much like the fermented sauces in Korean cuisine, Hoa Hiep fish sauce is the indispensable “soul” of Vietnamese family meals, carrying a sense of richness and familial bondin
The Daejeon delegation praised Hoa Hiep’s product lines, ranging from the first-press (cot nhi) fish sauce used for daily cooking to premium high-end products. In particular, the elegance and sophistication of Hoa Hiep’s glass giftsets left a strong impression on the international guests regarding their export potential.
Reaching Global Heights on a Foundation of Traditional Values
Welcoming the Korean delegation was not only an opportunity for Hoa Hiep to affirm its position as a heritage enterprise but also a testament to the global aspirations of the Vinh Long fish sauce brand. With an innovative mindset in production, Hoa Hiep is gradually enhancing its capacity to integrate into the international food supply chain.
On behalf of the company, the Board of Directors of Hoa Hiep would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Daejeon delegation for taking the time to visit. Your interest and positive feedback serve as a great source of motivation for Hoa Hiep to continue its journey of “keeping the flame alive” for the traditional fish sauce craft, bringing the flavors of our homeland’s specialty to the world stage.
