Vietnam Focuses on Agricultural Product Processing and Preservation Innovation for Global Competitiveness

In Vietnam, innovation in the processing and preservation of agricultural products is recognized as the "key" to transforming the agricultural sector from production-oriented to an agricultural economy. This strategy is particularly evident in provinces like Quang Ngai, which are leveraging their unique advantages in coastal and forest resources to enhance the global competitiveness of their farm products. Quang Ngai Province is expanding its agricultural development space by capitalizing on its distinctive marine and forest economic strengths. To accelerate the international reach of its agricultural products, the province is focusing on innovations in processing and preservation, establishing a system that supports everyone from producers to businesses, from idea generation to international market entry. This initiative symbolizes the broader shift towards an agricultural economy underway across Vietnam. The advancement of processing and preservation technologies is considered crucial as a lever to boost the development of the collective economy and as a measure to revitalize regional economies. The strategy aims to increase the added value of Vietnamese agricultural products and establish their brand in the international market.
