Delicious, nutritious and of high economic value, crystal lettuce, purple corns, cold-resistance cucumbers and even the social media sensation Sweet Palermo peppers, have been making their way into farms and agribusinesses across Việt Nam.

But while these products have seen success among Vietnamese consumers, only some are aware that they originate from the Netherlands and that their growing popularity is part of a long history of agricultural cooperation between the two countries.

“The Netherlands has been holding the top spot for the most productive, effective and sustainable collaboration for Việt Nam’s agriculture,” said Trần Huy Đường, owner of Langbiang Farm in Lâm Đồng Province.
“The Dutch have been the pioneers in this aspect for years, not just recently and today their support continues.”
