Chuc Son Agricultural Cooperative is a horticultural facility supplying vegetables to the Hanoi city region. The facility employs 45 staff members working across three divisions. The cooperative specializes in vegetable production, managing a 6-hectare area of VietGAP-certified vegetables within the larger 65-hectare vegetable production zone planned for Chuc Son Town, Chuong My District, Hanoi. Among these new developments, 2 hectares are designated for greenhouse vegetable production.
