Originally a teacher and the eldest son of Ong Hai Sai (real name Tram Kim Sai), born into a family with a long-standing tradition in cassava starch production since the 1960s (Hai Sai Tapioca Workshop), a legacy that has been preserved and developed through generations. With full dedication to inheriting and continuing his family’s business, Mr. Le Huu Hung has continuously updated and applied modern technologies, combined with strong business acumen and market sensitivity. He laid the foundation for Hung Duy Co., Ltd in 1994, developing it from a traditional production facility into a modern industrial manufacturer and a pioneer in professional trading and import-export activities in Tay Ninh province… transforming Hung Duy into one of the leading private enterprises in Vietnam and a top global exporter in the tapioca starch industry.
In business leadership and management, he has always emphasized building internal strength as the foundation. Starting from humble beginnings with only 20 employees, he persistently pursued a prudent financial management strategy, guided by the principle of “living within means,” focusing on sustainable growth while limiting dependence on large loans. This approach has created strong financial capacity and a solid development foundation, enabling the company to overcome market fluctuations and economic downturns while maintaining stable growth.
Throughout his entrepreneurial journey, he has also been a role model of a value-creating and community-oriented businessman, making significant contributions to the cassava industry in particular, and to the broader socio-economic development and local communities in general. He has been honored as a Cultural Entrepreneur, Outstanding Entrepreneur, and awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Economics by International American University… Above all, throughout his career, Mr. Le Huu Hung has earned the trust of partners, customers, employees, and the wider community. This recognition is not only a personal achievement but also a testament to the credibility of the Hung Duy brand and a source of pride for the entire organization.
With a global mindset, Mr. Le Huu Hung continues to lead future generations of leaders with a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, enhancing international integration while consistently promoting humanistic values and sustainable development for society.

Building upon the inherited philosophy “To Succeed, One Must First Be a Good Person”, founder Le Huu Hung established a development orientation that harmonizes “Vision” with “Integrity” as the core of sustainability and “Winning People’s Hearts.” He defined the company’s core values: ETHICS – SAFETY – QUALITY – INNOVATION, which also serve as the human-centered development spirit of the entire Hung Duy Group ecosystem.
Over more than half a century of formation and development, the leadership and the entire organization have consistently upheld these principles in all behaviors and operations, integrating core values into daily activities. This serves as the guiding principle and the foundation of Hung Duy’s sustainable development culture.

International American University (IAU) conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Economics upon Mr. Le Huu Hung – Chairman of Hung Duy Group, Vice Chairman of Vietnam Cassava Association & Chairman of Tay Ninh Tapioca Starch Production Association
