Vietnam enhances supply chains for sustainable organic agriculture
Organic agricultural products are gaining traction among consumers due to their sustainability, safety, and nutritional benefits. However, despite the rising demand, organic farming only accounts for a small portion of Vietnam's agricultural sector.
Experts have acknowledged the importance of strengthening supply chains to drive the sustainable growth of organic agriculture and secure better incomes for farmers.
The Vietnamese government has demonstrated a strong commitment to developing organic agriculture through a series of policies aimed at fostering this sector. The Party Central Committee's 2022 Resolution No. 19-NQ/TW on agriculture, farmers, and rural areas emphasises the promotion of green, organic, and circular agriculture.
Earlier, in 2018, the government issued Decree No. 109/2018/ND-CP on organic agriculture, followed by Decision No. 885/QD-TTg in 2020, which set out a comprehensive plan for organic agriculture development from 2020 to 2030. These policies are designed to align Vietnam's organic agriculture with global trends.
