The cooperation will allow Ba Huan to conduct comprehensive digital transformation, streamline the management apparatus, and allow the Board to monitor corporate governance activities more closely.

Ba Huan has started from and succeeded with an egg, a tiny product, however, the company’s vision and development model has shown that, with great dedication and appropriate strategies, Vietnamese agricultural products deserve a great position in the market. Digital transformation will certainly be the driving force for Ba Huan to move faster, creating more growth opportunities for Vietnamese farmers and agricultural products.

Digitalizing corporate governance – Ba Huan owns the “hens that lay golden eggs”

Technologicalization of conventional business models is a trend of the agricultural industry in recent years. In addition to investing in advanced production lines, modernizing the management system is the core of the digital transformation process. Particularly, adoption of technology solutions will become “hens that lay golden eggs” for companies since it creates massive leaps in operational and business efficiency.

Ba Huan is a brand familiar to the meals of millions of Vietnamese families. Starting with a load of eggs since the age of 16, Ms. Pham Thi Huan, President of Ba Huan, has constantly created new values, replaced the old way of doing business, built the most advanced egg processing factory in Southeast Asia with a capacity of 65,000 eggs/hour, and become a pioneer in industrialization of the poultry egg industry in Vietnam. With the philosophy of accompanying and protecting the interests of farmers and consumers in all circumstances, during a two-year period of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ba Huan has twice refused to increase the price of poultry eggs.

With 50 years of experience in the poultry egg production industry, Ba Huan is now not only one of the largest poultry egg suppliers in the country with a market share of approximately 30%, but has also been researching and developing various ground-breaking processed products with high nutritional value. However, Ba Huan’s strong expansion both in scale and depth of production, both in domestic and foreign markets, has posed the need for a comprehensive management system. Ba Huan needs to take advantage of technology solutions to optimize resources, minimize risks in management and costs in business operations.

2022 is considered a year with multiple changes for Ba Huan. Besides business development and expansion, the company’s key task in the coming future will be digital transformation. For Ba Huan, the core of digital transformation must come from “people”. Changing mindsets, adopting technology solutions into operations, Ba Huan expects to create “golden eggs”, improve working processes, develop an effective digital working environment, open up business opportunities, create momentum for performance enhancement and cost savings. In such journey, FPT is more than ready to accompany and stand side by side with Ba Huan to conquer the dream of digital agriculture.
