“Sustainability and circularity are focus points for the cooperation between the Netherlands and Vietnam. There are many opportunities for Vietnamese and Dutch businesses to cooperate and contribute to the sustainable development of the Vietnamese horticulture and floriculture sector, which will lead to the upgrade of the sector” stated by Ms. Ingrid Korving, the Agricultural Counsellor of the Netherlands Embassy in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese Horticulture sector is growing rapidly, with production systems slowly moving away from traditional open-field production to protected cultivation. Food safety and quality is becoming more and more important due to increasing local consumer demand for safe food and high standards and the increase of exports to various export markets, including the EU.

For 2023 the Vietnamese GDP is expected to grow with about 7%, with this figures Vietnam is by far the fastest growing economy in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.
