Ms. Tram confided: “I have been making sausages for many years, but it was not until I participated in the “One Commune One Product” (OCOP) Program and the Women Entrepreneurship Competition that consumers became more aware of my products. Since then, I have invested in perfecting the packaging and product designs to develop the Min Kai Fresh Sausage brand and expand the consumer market.”

Married to a Taiwanese husband, Ms. Tram learned about the Taiwanese specialty of fresh sausage.

From here, she began to research and change the way of processing sausage to suit the traditional taste of Vietnamese people.

When the first batches of sausages were finished, she kept them for her family to use and gave them to relatives and friends to try. With everyone's praise and support, she started producing sausages to sell on the market.

At first, when making sausage, she had to experiment many times, spending a lot of effort and money before perfecting the recipe.

In addition, there are difficulties in selling products because consumers are unfamiliar with the product and the price is high. Although she only sells a few kilos a day, she is not discouraged and always welcomes customer feedback to improve.

Gradually, when people ate the sausage and found it delicious and of good quality, they introduced it to each other and spread the word, so orders increased.

If before, Ms. Tram mainly supplied fresh sausages to Taiwanese traders in Da Nang, now the orders have expanded to restaurants, clean food stores, and distributors in Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City....

“With the determination to bring the best and most delicious products to consumers, I always put the criteria of ensuring quality and food hygiene and safety first. I make sausages for my family to eat in the same way, and I have to ensure the same when selling them to customers,” Ms. Tram shared.

The main ingredient for making sausage is fresh pork, which is carefully selected by Ms. Tram and processed immediately after leaving the slaughterhouse. The pork is cleaned of tendons, bones, and hair, then cut into small pieces and washed.

When the meat is drained, it is ground, mixed with traditional spices, then stuffed into the skin (cleaned pig intestines). Then use string to tie it into sections, dried, vacuumed and packaged.

Ms. Tram said that choosing meat is extremely important because it determines the quality and taste of the sausage.

In particular, she does not use mai que lo wine but makes her own sticky rice wine to marinate the meat, giving the sausage a distinctive aroma, making it different from other sausages on the market. This is also the secret to making fresh and delicious sausages that her family has kept for many years.

In particular, Min Kai fresh sausage does not use preservatives and is frozen to ensure freshness.

Ms. Tram excitedly said: "Achieving 4-star OCOP certification in 2022, Min Kai fresh sausage products are supported by local authorities with packaging and barcodes for customers to trace the origin of the product.

On average, the facility produces 300kg of fresh sausage per month, at a cost of 280,000 VND/kg. Especially during the peak of the Tet season, production must be increased sharply, with an estimated 1,500kg.

The facility not only brings in an average annual revenue of 250 million VND, but also creates seasonal jobs for many female workers, actively contributing to local social security activities."

It is known that freezing sausages after production is also the reason why product consumption is limited, especially retail sales through e-commerce platforms. In the coming time, Ms. Tram plans to continue to improve product quality and research the market to meet the increasing needs of customers.
