The noise of Kera vegetable candy is still being paid a lot of attention by the public, all relevant information as well as the next developments have been continuously updated throughout the past time. The incident has just had more news that attracts attention.

Before being prosecuted, Quang Linh Vlogs and Hang Du Muc used to "explode" in terms of the source of raw materials for the production of Kera candy. One of the mentioned planting areas is Dak Lak. But in reality, it seems that this is not the case.

On April 9, Mr. Vo Tan Truc - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Krong Bong district (Dak Lak province), said that Asia Life Joint Stock Company (the manufacturer of Kera vegetable candy) has just come to the locality to ask for legal support for the cultivation of turmeric and legumes.

Accordingly, on March 6, Mr. Nguyen Phong - Chairman of the Board of Directors of Asia Life Joint Stock Company, went to the People's Committee of Ea Krong Bong district to say that he wanted to plant 5-7 hectares of turmeric and some legumes, asking him to survey some places.

"According to the plan, on March 7, the company will come down and we will take it to Yang Mao commune to survey. However, then they did not come, I got the information and learned that it was the day the authorities worked with this company," Mr. Truc shared.

Meanwhile, Mr. Tran Kim Phung - Chairman of the People's Committee of Yang Mao commune (Krong Bong district), said that in February 2025, Asia Life Joint Stock Company went to the locality to survey and raise the issue of supporting people to plant trees.

According to Mr. Phung, the company will support the cost of making land, seeds, and fertilizers for people to plant. When it is harvested, people can sell it to the market, otherwise they will come to buy. Based on the company's desire to support, the Commune People's Committee has made a list of 40 households. However, up to now, households have not implemented it because it has not yet been replanted. Particularly, 4 hectares of ginger have been invested.

"At that time, they said that they would wait for Quang Linh to go to Angola (in June) to check and decide to support. Recently, I heard about the prosecution and temporary detention, so I contacted the people of Asia Life Joint Stock Company. They said they would still support but wait for the matter to be resolved. They say that, I also know that," Chairman of the People's Committee of Yang Ma commune added.
