The Dalat Hasfarm solar project represents a major advancement in sustainable agriculture, initiated through a partnership between Dalat Hasfarm, ecoligo Fund (Germany), and Vu Phong Energy Group. This initiative, which began with a kick-off ceremony on March 15, 2023, pioneers the use of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model to integrate clean energy into large-scale floriculture. By adopting solar power, Dalat Hasfarm not only reinforces its commitment to environmental stewardship but also sets a new standard for reducing the carbon footprint within Vietnam’s agricultural sector. Vu Phong Energy Group, serving as the EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor, brings its extensive expertise to ensure the project’s success, highlighting a collaborative effort toward achieving shared sustainable development goals and promoting renewable energy adoption among businesses.
Dalat Hasfarm: A Leader in High-Quality Floriculture
Dalat Hasfarm has established itself as a premier brand for high-quality fresh flowers in the Asia-Pacific region. Since its inception in 1994 with just two hectares of crops, the company has expanded to over 400 hectares across four high-tech greenhouse farms. This growth has enabled Dalat Hasfarm to successfully export “Made in Vietnam” fresh flowers to global markets, including Japan, Taiwan, and New Zealand, while generating stable employment for over 4,000 local workers. With an annual turnover of approximately USD 100 million and a network of 22 high-end retail shops across Vietnam, the company stands as a pillar of the local economy and a model of agricultural success.

A Core Commitment to Sustainable Development
Sustainable development is a cornerstone of Dalat Hasfarm’s corporate identity, alongside innovation, high technology, and customer orientation. The company has long been a pioneer in creating a green, clean, and sustainable organic agricultural model. Dalat Hasfarm has implemented numerous eco-friendly solutions, including organic waste recycling, energy-saving LED lighting systems, and advanced water treatment processes that enable water reuse in flower production. Furthermore, its adoption of Bio Pro technology, which utilizes beneficial insects and biological fungi instead of chemical pesticides, demonstrates a profound commitment to protecting both human health and the environment. The integration of clean energy through this solar project marks the next logical milestone in its sustainability journey.
The Rooftop Solar Power System: A Strategic Partnership
Phase one of the project involves installing a rooftop solar power system at Dalat Hasfarm’s main farm in Da Lat City. The system is being developed under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, with investment from the ecoligo Fund and EPC services provided by Vu Phong Energy Group. This arrangement offers significant benefits for businesses, as it allows Dalat Hasfarm to utilize solar power at a competitive price without bearing the initial investment or operational costs. This clean energy solution will substantially reduce Dalat Hasfarm’s energy expenses throughout the contract term. At the end of the contract, the entire solar power system can be transferred to Dalat Hasfarm at no cost, with a performance guarantee of over 80-90% efficiency.
In phase one, the rooftop solar power system will be installed at a Dalat Hasfarm facility in Dalat.
Mr. Tri, Nguyen Quang, CEO of Vu Phong Energy Group, stated, “Our primary goal has always been to be the best partner for businesses on their path to sustainable development. Vu Phong is proud to accompany many of Vietnam’s leading enterprises, including Vinamilk and Duy Tan, on this journey.” Following the kick-off, Vu Phong Energy Group will proceed with the rapid deployment and commissioning of the system, enabling Dalat Hasfarm to power its fresh flower production with green energy.
Contributing to Global Sustainable Development Goals
As one of the earliest foreign investors in Lam Dong province, Dalat Hasfarm is now the region’s largest foreign-invested employer. This project, a collaboration between Dalat Hasfarm, ecoligo, and Vu Phong Energy Group, extends beyond corporate benefits. It actively contributes to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While directly addressing Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), the initiative also supports Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Vu Phong Energy Group, a pioneer in Vietnam’s solar energy industry since 2009, continues to demonstrate its commitment to driving sustainable progress through strategic renewable energy projects.
