A An Food Joint Stock Company was established in 2021, building on the rice business segment of Tan Long Group. The company aims to develop a high-tech rice enterprise based on a farm-to-table value chain model.

The company collaborates with cooperatives and farmers in the Mekong Delta to develop high-quality raw material areas. It invests in modern rice processing plants and a nationwide distribution network. A An currently develops clean rice varieties that meet the increasingly strict standards of domestic and international markets.

In its international strategy, Aan Clean Rice has penetrated the demanding Japanese market and is expanding exports to Europe with high-quality and near-organic rice products. A company representative stated, "Presence in markets with high demands for quality, food safety, and traceability affirms the company's competitiveness and elevates the Vietnamese rice brand internationally."

Alongside its growth strategy, the company pursues sustainable development. It applies advanced production standards, promotes low-emission farming models, and builds a green rice value chain. The company currently receives support and consultation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to enhance sustainability in rice production, increase farmer incomes, and create safe, high-quality food products.

As the rice industry shifts from quantity competition to quality and sustainable development, the company focuses on high-tech rice development. It aims to transform rice into branded consumer products with added value and international competitiveness. The company targets a scale of 5 million tons of paddy, equivalent to 2.5 million tons of finished rice, by 2030. It aims to further expand its position in the Vietnamese and international rice value chains.
