Khai Minh is a company which provides organic foods to customers who want to have a healthy life. According to the founder - Mr Vien, a long time ago Vietnamese ancients highlighted the importance of eating through idioms such as “Learn how to eat, learn how to speak, learn how to wrap, learn how to open” and bedtime stories, for example Lang Lieu King. It was said that Lang Lieu, prince of the Hung Dynasty, presented “banh chung” and “banh day” cakes made from rice and green beans to his father. After that, he was selected as a king because the father knew that his son was aware of the importance of rice and seeds.
However, this awareness has now disappeared. With the desire of reviving it, Khai Minh was established to enhance the awareness of qualitative eating in this fast-moving world. When eating clean vegetarian food cooked with the macrobiotic process during a long time, consumers would feel the difference in their body and soul. The body feels healthier and lighter while the mind is at peace. For those who do not have the possibility to go to the restaurant, Khai Minh also holds some cooking classes with the hope that many people follow the macrobiotics principles. Besides, brown rice flour is sold at Khai Minh restaurant for those who cannot cook. To have the best effect, Khai Minh offers meditation classes and consultancy, and talk shows, led by Mr. Vien, who is also an oriental doctor.

As Mr. Nurwanto established CV Nusa Alam Gemilang in 2014, he began to use Japanese oven technology to produce white charcoal (binchotan), from the forest trees in Center Kalimantan.
The Production of White Charcoal could reduce the fire forests in Kalimantan because it needs the tree as raw materials which used to be burnt for palm oil production. So it's better to burn the trees in the charcoal oven than burn the trees in the forest land because burning trees in the forest land can cause the forest fire. Burning the trees in to the white charcoal oven is more sustainable because less of the tree is needed; just cut down some of the the tree's branches and deliver to the white charcoal oven to be burnt.
The production of white charcoal changed the homesteaders' ("Transmigran") profession, from palm oil farm workers to be white charcoal producers because this charcoal was exported to Japan and Middle Eastern Countries with a decent price which increased their life prosperity.
