DNHN - THACO Agri plans to expand its specialised banana plantation and combine cattle farming, increasing the total area to 11,600 ha for bananas and 7,100 ha for fruit trees.
2024 is considered an important year for THACO in the agricultural sector, with a focus on expanding production scale and improving product quality. The company has set out a plan to invest in agricultural production complexes in potential areas such as the Central Highlands, Cambodia and Laos.
According to the plan, THACO Agri will expand its specialised banana plantation and combine cattle farming, increasing the total area to 11,600 ha for bananas and 7,100 ha for fruit trees. At the same time, the scale of the cattle and pig herds will also be increased, with the total number of animals exceeding 150,000 for cattle and over 130,000 for pigs, including breeding stock and meat.

To ensure stability and efficiency in production, THACO Agri will also invest in a breeding centre and apply advanced technology in agriculture. The total investment capital for these plans is expected to be around VND 5,800 billion, to achieve consolidated revenue of up to VND 6,600 billion, of which a significant portion will come from exports, estimated at USD 190 million.
Importantly, with such an expanded production scale, THACO Agri will create many new jobs, with plans to recruit around 12,600 additional staff, bringing the total number of workers in the agricultural sector to around 34,300 by the end of 2024.
In addition to its activities in the agricultural sector, THACO is also focusing on developing transport infrastructure, industrial parks and urban areas in Chu Lai. The total investment capital here is expected to reach VND 3,894 billion in 2024 while contributing to increasing tax revenue for Quang Nam province to VND 20,000 billion, an increase of 16% compared to the previous year.
In addition, other THACO member units such as THADICO and THISO are preparing to start 12 new projects, serving the plan to develop a chain of commercial centres in the period 2024-2027. With these extensive development plans, THACO Group aims to recruit around 15,000 new staff in 2024, to ensure its stable and sustainable development in the coming period.
