Announcing the Winner: CanCham Impact Awards 2026 – SME Category

Congratulations to John Crop Development Vietnam Co., Ltd (JCDVN), the recipient of the CanCham Impact Award 2026 – SME Category!

As a small, owner-managed business, JCDVN is demonstrating how specialised expertise and innovative thinking can create meaningful, lasting impact across Vietnam’s agricultural sector.

Established in 2017, JCDVN connects Vietnamese fruit growers with international markets through food safety consultancy, export compliance and supplier development. By helping growers meet international standards, the company creates opportunities for local producers to access premium export markets while strengthening confidence in Vietnamese agricultural products.

Turning challenges into opportunities

What makes JCDVN’s approach distinctive is its focus on prevention. Through a structured supplier pre-clearance process and digital compliance tools, the company helps identify potential food safety risks before harvest, supports growers in addressing compliance gaps, and promotes more sustainable practices throughout the supply chain.

Its work benefits not only growers and international buyers, but also farm workers, local communities and Vietnam’s reputation as a trusted agricultural exporter.

JCDVN exemplifies the spirit of the CanCham Impact Awards: creating meaningful impact through innovation, leadership and a commitment to lasting value, regardless of company size.

👏 Congratulations to John Duffill and the entire JCDVN team on this well-deserved recognition!

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the CanCham Vietnam Board of Directors for their time, thoughtful consideration and dedication in reviewing the submissions and selecting this year’s award recipients against the established judging criteria.
