Consolidate your botanical raw material sourcing with certified batch consistency, ICP-MS heavy metal verification, and seamless customs clearance into Hai Phong and Cat Lai ports.
Under current Vietnam Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines and the Vietnam Food Administration (VFA - Cục An toàn thực phẩm) decree compliance frameworks (including Decree 15/2018/ND-CP and Circular 43/2014/TT-BYT), microalgae powders imported for human nutrition and functional supplements require rigorous documentation regarding cellular disruption methods, residual pheophorbides, and non-detectable microcystin profiles. Our industrial-scale production line provides batch-specific high-resolution certificates matching every parameter required by Vietnamese customs and state food inspection agencies.
Chlorella is a single-celled green microalga renowned worldwide as one of the densest biological sources of chlorophyll, complete plant protein, RNA/DNA fractions, and the water-soluble Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF). However, the untreated cellulosic cell wall of raw chlorella serves as an impenetrable barrier to human and monogastric digestive enzymes, yielding an in vivo bioavailability of less than 15%.
As a dedicated manufacturing and export partner to Vietnam's rapidly expanding pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and premium aquaculture sectors, we implement advanced physical high-pressure mechanical disruption (micro-milling and dyno-mill technology). This proprietary process achieves a cell wall breakage rate exceeding 85% to 90% without utilizing aggressive chemical solvents or excessive thermal profiles that degrade sensitive heat-labile micronutrients, native chlorophyll a/b, and peptide structures.

Vietnam's industrial economy is undergoing an aggressive qualitative shift. Consumer markets in Tier 1 metropolises such as Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang demonstrate double-digit compound annual growth rates (CAGR) for clean-label preventative healthcare, botanical immune fortifiers, and green functional foods. Simultaneously, the Mekong Delta and South Central Coast regions are revolutionizing commercial aquaculture systems to satisfy strict import standards enforced by EVFTA and CPTPP destination markets.
Used directly by Vietnamese contract manufacturers (OEM/ODM) to formulate hard gelatin and vegetarian capsules, compressed green detox tablets, and sachet stick-packs. Our powders compress cleanly without requiring high excipient ratios.
Micronized powder (120 mesh) designed for rapid water dispersion in ready-to-drink (RTD) plant-based nutritional milk, cold-pressed green smoothies, instant matcha-chlorella blends, and fermented probiotic micro-algae health drinks.
Applied extensively in Bac Lieu, Soc Trang, and Ca Mau for Litopenaeus vannamei (whiteleg shrimp) and Penaeus monodon larval rearing. Acts as superior early-stage live feed enrichment and gut microbiome stabilizer.
High natural chlorophyll and CGF content drive the formulation of detoxifying facial clay masks, soothing serums, and restorative hair packs formulated by domestic beauty brands capitalizing on modern Korean-Vietnamese cosmetic trends.
Understanding the macroeconomic and regulatory dynamics within Vietnam allows business procurement teams to minimize regulatory lead times and avoid costly port quarantines.
Importers of health supplements (Thực phẩm bảo vệ sức khỏe) must submit a full technical dossier for product declaration (Công bố sản phẩm). Our technical team provides original manufacturer GMP, ISO 22000 certificates, and fully harmonized Certificate of Analysis (CoA) matching local testing endpoints verbatim.
Intense international scrutiny over chemical antibiotic residues in Vietnamese exported seafood has driven commercial hatcheries toward biological water conditioning and high-protein microalgal immuno-stimulants. Chlorella powder replaces synthetic additives to enhance post-larvae survival rates.
Vietnamese OEM contract manufacturers are scaling output to fulfill private-label orders destined for Malaysia, Indonesia, and Middle Eastern markets. Ingredients with ready Halal (JAKIM/MUI recognized), USDA Organic, and Kosher accreditations allow instant export readiness without dual formulation cycles.
Our manufacturing operations are built upon pharmaceutical discipline, end-to-end traceability, and destination-specific compliance documentation. Drawing from our established supply chains serving demanding markets in the European Union, United States, and Japan, every export consignment destined for Vietnamese sea ports (Cat Lai, Hai Phong, Da Nang) or air freight hubs (Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai) undergoes a multi-tier analytical screening process.
Certified-Facility Infrastructure: Produced under strict GMP-compliant closed photobioreactor and glass-tubing systems to eliminate outdoor airborne contaminant risks, acid rain residues, and environmental microcystin intrusion.
Heavy-Metal Assurance by ICP-MS: Strict lot-by-lot batch release testing ensuring total lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic fall well below the limits outlined in Vietnam National Technical Regulation QCVN 8-1:2011/BYT.
Zero Ethylene Oxide (ETO): Sterilization is executed strictly via physical micro-filtration, gentle low-temperature pasteurization, and advanced spray drying. ETO and 2-chloroethanol testing reports are standardly provided to confirm 100% compliance.
Flexible Minimum Order Volumes (MOQ): Our starting wholesale threshold begins at 25 kg fiber drums for formulation trials and pilot factory scale-ups, expanding reliably to multi-ton full container loads (FCL) on annual contract pricing.
Executing smooth international ingredient importation into Vietnam requires synchronizing trade documentation with both domestic regulatory authorities and local customs clearance agents (Hải quan). We operate a verified 4-step export protocol designed for zero compliance failure:
The buyer submits target application parameters (mesh size, protein percentage, organic vs convention grade). Our regulatory desk issues full TDS, manufacturing flowcharts, and typical batch CoAs within 24 hours.
We air-freight a representative production lot sample (100g – 500g) alongside matched batch laboratory analytical documents for local third-party validation (e.g., Quatest 3, Eurofins Vietnam, or SGS Vietnam).
Upon sample approval, our compliance team prepares original signed & stamped documentation required for VFA registration: Certificate of Free Sale (CFS), GMP/ISO certifications, non-GMO declaration, and allergen declarations.
Consignments are packed with double food-grade polyethylene inner liners in robust moisture-impermeable 25kg fiber drums. Dispatched via sea freight (FCL/LCL) or express air with original Phytosanitary and Form AI certificates.
