Shopping in Ho Chi Minh City is like eating a great dinner: you want to do it, you look forward to doing it and, to some extent, you really must do it.

Ines Quoico, owner of The Organik Shop and Organik Da Lat Farm, previously told City Pass Guide that not only are there no certifications issued for organic farms in Vietnam, but the ordeal of getting certified through the European Union, a similar US food safety body or another certifying organisation involves finding land that is not infected with dioxin, then flying in auditors to test the soil, the water, the fertilisers, and to perform countless other trials.

Mr. Sam Ho, Managing Director of Natural Food Group, said that several studies of Vietnamese consumer behavior showed that the demand for nước ép trái cây organic products has increased tremendously, so the company decided to import and distribute organic products for the Vietnamese market.
