Sustainability at Đạt Foods: Nurturing People, Planet, and Tradition


At Dat Foods, sustainability is not just a trend—it’s a commitment to ethical farming, responsible sourcing, and mindful production. We believe food should nourish both people and the planet, so we prioritize natural ingredients, support Vietnamese farmers, and promote eco-friendly practices. Every jar of Đạt Butter and every bottle of Đạt Nut Milk is crafted with a mission: to provide clean, high-quality food while making a positive impact on the environment.

As we expand into the U.S., our commitment to sustainability remains strong. While some of our waste-reduction programs are currently limited to Vietnam, we are actively working to bring these initiatives to American consumers, ensuring that they, too, can enjoy high-quality, ethically sourced, and environmentally responsible products.


Supporting Local Vietnamese Farmers

Sustainability in food production

A core pillar of Đạt Foods’ sustainability efforts is our strong partnership with small-scale Vietnamese farmers. Unlike large industrial farms, we work directly with local growers, ensuring they receive fair wages, use eco-friendly farming techniques, and continue traditional agricultural practices.

By sourcing cashews, peanuts, and macadamias from local Vietnamese farmers, we:

Empower farming communities with fair-trade opportunities.
Encourage sustainable agricultural methods that avoid harmful chemicals.
Preserve traditional farming knowledge and support local economies.

Through direct trade, we cut out unnecessary middlemen, ensuring that farmers benefit from fair compensation while consumers receive higher-quality, naturally grown nuts.

Luan Jenkins, co-founder of Đạt Foods USA, is playing a key role in bringing Đạt Butter to the U.S. market with a strong focus on sustainability and ethical trade. His mission is not just about introducing Vietnamese nut butter to American consumers—it’s about creating a global impact by supporting small-scale farmers, promoting fair-trade products, and ensuring that traditional Vietnamese farming practices are valued worldwide.


Sustainable Farming Practices and Ethical Sourcing

Sustainability in food production

Sustainable food starts with sustainable farming. At Dat Foods, we work closely with farmers to ensure responsible and ethical production that minimizes environmental impact.

No Chemical Fertilizers or Pesticides: Farmers use organic composting and natural pest control methods to keep crops healthy.
Soil Health Conservation: We encourage crop rotation and organic fertilization to maintain soil quality and prevent degradation.
Water Efficiency Practices: We educate farmers on smart irrigation techniques to reduce water waste and ensure optimal resource use.

By implementing these eco-conscious farming techniques, we minimize our environmental footprint while ensuring the long-term health of Vietnam’s agricultural lands.


Eco-Friendly Packaging: A Step Toward Zero Waste

Sustainability in food production

Sustainability isn’t just about what’s inside the jar—it’s also about how our products are packaged. In Vietnam, Dat Foods has taken significant steps to reduce single-use plastics and promote more sustainable packaging solutions.

Reusable Glass Jars: In Vietnam, Đạt Butter and nut milk are packaged in glass jars, which can be reused or recycled to minimize plastic waste.
Jar Return Program: Vietnamese customers can return empty jars for discounts, creating a closed-loop system that reduces packaging waste.
Minimal Packaging Waste: We use eco-friendly labels and recyclable shipping materials to reduce our environmental impact further.

Future Plans for the U.S. Market

As Đạt Foods expands into the U.S., we are actively exploring ways to introduce similar sustainability programs. Our long-term goal is to offer reusable packaging options while ensuring our products remain accessible and convenient for American consumers. While we cannot provide a jar return program or fully plastic-free packaging in the U.S., we are working toward adopting more eco-friendly materials and waste-reduction strategies in future operations.


Plant-Based Nutrition: A Greener Future

Sustainability in food production

Another way Dat Foods promotes sustainability is through plant-based nutrition. Compared to dairy and animal-based products, nut-based foods have a lower environmental footprint, requiring less water, land, and energy to produce.

Nut milk production requires significantly less water than dairy milk.
Plant-based diets contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Đạt Butter and Nut Milks contain no artificial additives, supporting clean eating and ethical food production.

By offering natural, plant-based products, we make it easier for consumers to adopt sustainable food choices without compromising on taste or quality.


Building a Global Market for Ethical Trade and Future Sustainability Goals

Sustainability in food production, Dat Foods

As Dat Foods expands into the U.S., we aim to introduce premium nut butter and build a global market for ethically sourced Vietnamese products.

Luan Jenkins, co-founder of Dat Foods USA, leads this expansion with a focus on creating new opportunities for Vietnamese farmers by connecting them with the global food market. He envisions Đạt Foods as more than just a brand—a platform for promoting sustainable agriculture, fair trade, and ethical food production. Our goals include:

Continuing to invest in sustainable practices and eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Partnering with more farmers to transition to fully organic, chemical-free production.
Expanding educational initiatives to promote ethical food choices among consumers.
Innovating more plant-based products that align with our sustainability mission.

We are committed to making sustainability an integral part of our growth, ensuring that Đạt Foods remains a leader in ethical food production.

By choosing Đạt Foods, U.S. consumers aren’t just buying a product—they’re supporting a movement toward fair-trade, environmentally responsible food choices. Every jar sold supports sustainable agriculture, fair trade practices, and a cleaner, greener future.
