Construction of the BHL Son La Modified Starch Factory, located in Mai Son Industrial Park, began in early 2025. After nearly eight months of construction, the project has been successfully completed, thanks to the close support of local authorities and the determination of the investor.

The project has a total investment of nearly 245 billion VND (9.3 million USD), with a designed capacity of 90,000 tonnes per year or 300 tonnes per day. Its production lines are fully automated, modern, and environmentally friendly. This is currently one of the largest agro-processing projects in Son La province.

At the ceremony, Vice Chairman Cong emphasized that the BHL Modified Starch Factory is not merely an investment project - it symbolizes a modern development mindset that integrates the State, enterprises, scientists, and farmers.

He reiterated the province’s commitment to promoting investment in agricultural processing industries; encouraging projects that apply high technology, biotechnology, and renewable energy in a green, circular, and sustainable direction; developing centralized raw material zones; and establishing value chain linkages between businesses, cooperatives, and farmers to ensure stable sale and improved product quality.
