This is one of the biomass corn areas that Loc Troi has organized production associating with local farmers in Gia Lai Province (equivalent to 2,000 ha) under the model of "profit ensure" for farmers/cooperatives/groups in cooperation agreements of supply high-quality biomass corn between Loc Troi and NutiFood Group signed at the end of April 2021.
