[Thanhnien.vn] — The partnership between two leading pearl cultivation companies from Japan and Vietnam marks a significant milestone for Vietnam’s jewelry and pearl industry. This collaboration is set to enhance Vietnam’s pearl cultivation and craftsmanship capabilities while connecting the country to the global market.
On the afternoon of March 21, in Ho Chi Minh City, a press conference was held to announce a cooperation agreement on advanced pearl cultivation technology between Hoàng Gia Pearl Joint-Stock Company (Vietnam) and Tanabe Pearl Farm (Japan). The event attracted considerable attention, with participation from industry professionals, jewelry experts, representatives from Ho Chi Minh City’s Department of Tourism, WLIN Global, the HCMC Design Association, and the Women Entrepreneurs Knowledge Club of HCMC.
After five years of negotiations and multiple on-site trials in Vietnam’s pearl farming environments, Tanabe Pearl Farm decided to invest and transfer state-of-the-art machinery and technology to Hoàng Gia Pearl for advanced pearl cultivation. Beyond technology transfer, both companies plan to establish a long-term, sustainable joint venture. The partnership will expand operations, bringing Tanabe Pearl Farm’s natural pearl coloring techniques from Japan to Vietnam.
In addition, Hoàng Gia Pearl will apply and develop its proprietary method for creating naturally patterned pearls, aiming to scale this innovation for the international market.
Mr. Hồ Thanh Tuấn, Chairman of Hoàng Gia Pearl, expressed his excitement at the signing, emphasizing that the partnership opens new avenues for growth. He highlighted that the collaboration will enable the creation of world-class, Vietnam-crafted pearl jewelry. “Hoàng Gia Pearl continues to elevate pearls beyond a traditional craft, transforming them into a unique art form that blends technical expertise with cultural and historical artistry, paving the way for a promising global market,” he stated.
Mr. Nguyễn Văn Dưng, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Jewelry and Gem Association (SJA), noted the importance of the partnership, emphasizing that supportive industries are crucial for building a globally competitive, sustainable pearl industry.
Tanabe Pearl Farm will quickly transfer Japan’s advanced natural pearl coloring technology and high-tech cultivation equipment to Vietnam, supporting the setup of systems for breeding and growing pearl oysters.
Hoàng Gia Pearl Joint-Stock Company will implement its proprietary technique for creating naturally patterned cultured pearls and operate a specialized fleet equipped with automated systems to monitor and clean pearl cages at the breeding farms, based on technology transferred from Japan.
The company also plans to continue expanding its cultivation areas, pearl seeding facilities, workshops, functional zones, and staff training programs to strengthen its operations.
