Brief History
Founded in 2009 by a group of European and Vietnamese entrepreneurs, The Fruit Republic (TFR) was established to bridge the gap between Vietnam’s rich agricultural resources and the high standards of international markets. TFR was one of the first companies in Vietnam to achieve GlobalG.A.P. certification for multiple crops and has since scaled operations to include three packhouses, a fresh-cut processing facility, and a logistics platform across the Mekong region.

TFR specializes in the cultivation, processing, packaging, and export of Vietnamese tropical fruits. With a vertically integrated supply chain, it provides complete control from field to market, ensuring product traceability, safety, and consistent quality.
