The company operates across four solution areas: Food Ingredients (sugar derivatives including Organic, Golden, White, Raw, Liquid, and Functional sugar; rice varieties including ST25 and Jasmine; corn derivatives such as HFCS and dextrose; and coconut derivatives), Beverages (branded consumer products COCOXIM coconut beverages in 45+ countries, MIAQUA sugarcane water, MIAHA sugarcane juice, CaneCrush energy drink, and Da Kai mineral water), Business Innovation Services (R&D for next-generation products including Half Sugar Stevia blend and liquid cane sugar), and an International Agri-Tech Center combining a 2,500-hectare Australian demonstration farm with a 1,000-hectare Vietnamese demonstration farm to support technology transfer, precision agriculture, and farming-as-a-service.

GMA generates revenue through four streams: agricultural commodity trading with transaction-fee economics connecting source and destination markets; branded consumer product sales through retail distribution in 45+ countries; technology transfer and farming-as-a-service offerings to government bodies, R&D institutions, and AgTech developers across Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Australia; and R&D services developing bio-based products including protein from molasses, bio-plastics, sustainable aviation fuel, and biochar. Its primary B2B segment is global food manufacturers seeking premium natural ingredients with transparent, fair-trade sourcing, complemented by beverage consumers (long-tail retail) and agricultural partners (institutional). The platform integrates Tetra Pak UHT pasteurization technology for COCOXIM production, precision field design and leveling for climate-resilient farmland, and a digital platform that delivers prescriptive recommendations to farmers using soil, weather, and farm data; strategic partners include Farmacist (Australian agronomy), Australian R&D institutions, and international universities for BIS R&D.
