VietHarvest is led by Louise Tran and Jimmy Pham. Tran has over a decade of experience working in the Australian food rescue sector with OzHarvest while Pham is the founder of Vietnam’s first non-profit social enterprise, KOTO.

The signing event will be followed by the launch of a 12-month pilot program by VietHarvest, which is a replication of Ronni Kahn's OzHarvest Food Rescue model. Originated from Australia, this model has been replicated globally in the United Kingdom (UKHarvest), New Zealand (KiwiHarvest), Japan (JapanHarvest) and South Africa (SAHarvest).

Mr. Ta Van Tuan, Asia Regional Director of AOP, affirmed the shared mission and values of the two sides to develop a program that has a long-term impact on the society.

The strategic partnership between AOP and VietHarvest is proposed to rescue thousands of kilos of surplus food, deliver thousands of meals to individuals in need, and divert methane from the atmosphere in Vietnam over the next 12 months.
