Jean-Luc started Les Vergers du Mekong (https://vergersmekong.com/) 20 years ago in Vietnam after spending his career worldwide working for the Food & Beverage industry. He decided to settle down in Vietnam as he saw a great potential in the country.
Today, the company is working with only small local farmers to produce fair-trade coffee and fruits. They can offer a complete delicious European style breakfast with coffee, tea, juice and jam thanks to his two brands:
👉 Le Fruit
👉 Folliet
They recently received the B-Corp certification (https://bcorporation.net/) and are the first Vietnamese company to obtain it. It is a great accomplishment of their work towards fair business and clean products.
