From the Farm — Nghi Lộc, Nghệ An, Vietnam
18°49′N · 105°42′E · Borders Vinh Port (Cửa Lò) · ~12 km farm to container terminal
Climate
North Central subtropical — hot wet summers (28–34°C), distinct cool dry winters (15–21°C). The cool dry season provides the thermal break that drives tight skin formation and dense bulb development.
Port Advantage
Nghi Lộc borders Cửa Lò Port directly — only ~12 km from farm gate to container terminal. Shortest cold-chain exposure of any Vietnamese shallot origin. Farm-to-port cold chain integrity is unmatched.
Soil Type
Sandy-loam coastal soil, neutral pH 6.0–6.8, high mineral content from coastal sediment. Excellent natural drainage prevents bulb rot. Delivers firm, dense shallots with bright purple skin and low moisture loss during field curing.
Nghi Lộc District in Nghệ An province — North Central Vietnam — is positioned uniquely for shallot export: the district borders Vinh Port (Cửa Lò) at just ~12 km, delivering the shortest cold-chain from Vietnamese farm to vessel of any shallot origin in the country. Our cooperative network of GlobalG.A.P.-certified farm households follows a strict IPM spray program and EU MRL-compliant pesticide schedule — with full residue test reports from SGS or Bureau Veritas ISO 17025-accredited labs available per shipment. Main harvest runs October–March (winter–spring crop), when the cool dry climate drives the tight outer-skin formation and low moisture content demanded by Malaysia, Middle East, and Japan buyers.
