Vietnam Sturgeon Group has spent many years on researching and testing the Ministry-level Project of raising & hatching Russian Sturgeon and faced several difficulties. The support and guidance from the Ministry of Fisheries, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Fisheries Association and many other agencies and unions helped to lead us to success of the project. Then we proceeded to apply into practice and it led to the formation of Vietnam – Da Lat Sturgeon Company Limited. This is the first foundation of Vietnam Sturgeon Group.

The following milestones can be summarized in the history of operation of the Group as below:
