(VHU) – To bridge the gap between theory and practice, students from the Food Technology department at Van Hien University recently conducted a field visit to the Tan Binh Vegetable Oil Joint Stock Company (Nakydaco). This journey, featuring a tour of closed-loop production processes and dialogues with experts, provided practical career insights to help students feel more confident in their professional development.

Experiencing a Closed-Loop Production Process
At the Nakydaco factory, students had the opportunity to directly observe the entire lifecycle of a high-quality product. They followed a closed-loop process, starting from the receipt of raw materials to the final finished product.

The journey began at the raw material reception area, where students delved into strict selection standards and rigorous input control systems designed to ensure product quality from the very first steps. Next, the group moved to the processing area. Seeing modern machinery in operation helped students visualize specialized knowledge in processing technology and food chemistry that they had previously only encountered in textbooks.

Dialogue with Experts and Career Orientation
The most valuable highlight of the trip was the direct exchange with Nakydaco’s team of experienced experts. Practical lessons were shared generously—ranging from compliance with food safety standards in large-scale production environments to the operation and troubleshooting of technical issues on the production line.
