Vietnam Fumigation

What Vietnam Fumigation does

Vietnam Fumigation Joint Stock Company (Công Ty Cổ Phẩn Khử Trùng Việt Nam, VFC), publicly listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange under ticker VFG since 2009, is Vietnam's largest fumigation company with roots dating to 1960 and a corporate structure formed in 1993 through the merger of Fumigation Company I (Hai Phong) and Fumigation Company II (Ho Chi Minh City). The company operates three business segments: fumigation services (container, ship and barge, warehouse and silo, ISPM 15 wood packaging material treatment, and import cargo fumigation), agricultural protection products — "Nông dược" (pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, plant growth regulators, biological soil amendments distributed under proprietary brands and via exclusive Syngenta and Corteva channels), and pest control services operated under the PestMan sub-brand for commercial, industrial, and residential facilities.

VFC's technical capabilities are anchored in regulatory-first certifications that competitors lack: it is the first Vietnamese company certified under the Australian Fumigation Accreditation Scheme (AFAS), a member of the International Maritime Fumigation Organization (IMFO), a pioneer of ISPM 15 wood packaging treatment and stamping in Vietnam, and was selected by UNIDO in 1998 to coordinate the Methyl Bromide replacement project. Service methods include chemical fumigation with Methyl Bromide and Phosphine (PH3), J-System gas circulation technology for ships, heat treatment, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs compliant with international phytosanitary standards. Supporting infrastructure includes full-face and half-face respirators, gas detectors, hand pumps with residual testing tubes, and container dehumidifier products (Dry 135, Dry pole, DryBag Helen) for moisture control during shipping.

Revenue reached 3,500 billion VND in 2024 (up from 3,000 billion VND in 2023), with the company claiming market leadership in fumigation revenue and serving 5,000+ regular customers including over 50% of Vietnam's total exported rice volume annually. Operations span all 34 provinces of Vietnam via a 1,000+ team workforce including 200+ technical experts, with technical staff stationed at major ports (Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh, Long An, Hai Phong). Distribution combines a direct enterprise field sales force, an authorized dealer and agricultural pharmacy network, and a direct-to-farmer "Tiếp Sức Cùng Nông Dân" program. Since 2021 VFC has operated as a subsidiary of The PAN Group, a diversified agricultural conglomerate listed on HOSE and UPCOM.
