Green Choice đã gây ấn tượng mạnh mẽ với ý tưởng tận dụng toàn bộ giá trị từ sầu riêng để phát triển nông nghiệp xanh
Green Choice made a strong impression with its idea of utilising the full value of durian to promote green agriculture.

The Green Choice project from NIIE – NTTU students stood out with its innovative idea: harnessing the full value of durian to address agricultural waste issues while creating high-value products that meet domestic and international demand. The products from the project include:

  • Freeze-dried durian and freeze-dried durian powder preserve all the nutrients and natural flavour. 
  • Organic fertiliser made from durian husks, treated with biological agents to speed up decomposition, improve soil quality, and provide crop nutrition.

The creativity and high practical application of Green Choice ultimately convinced the judging panel, helping the project secure First Prize in the Problem-Solving Innovation category. Furthermore, the Business Choice Award is a testament to businesses’ recognition of the project’s quality and commercialisation potential.

Chắc chắn, trong tương lai, dự án Green Choice sẽ còn có nhiều bước tiến xa hơn nữa, cùng chờ đón nhé!!
In the future, Green Choice is sure to make even greater strides—stay tuned!!

The success of Green Choice is not only a source of pride for the students but also a clear reflection of the educational philosophy “Real Learning – Real Success – Real Prestige – Real Future” of Nguyen Tat Thanh University. This project is not only academic but also focused on real-world, sustainable values, which are highly appreciated by businesses at this year’s competition. The Business Choice Award further affirms confidence in Green Choice’s potential for application and opens up opportunities for collaboration, product commercialisation, and disseminating sustainable values to the community. Who knows, in the future, products like freeze-dried durian or organic fertiliser from durian husks might appear on supermarket shelves or be exported to international markets?

With its current achievements, Green Choice has the motivation and confidence to break through in future competitions at higher levels. Let’s continue to follow and support Green Choice!!! 🌱💡
