'Incubating' students to develop Vietnamese agricultural products

According to the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Enterprises, when the trend of green production and sustainable consumption becomes an inevitable direction, the connection between farmers, businesses and schools is not only economic cooperation but also the foundation for innovation and long-term development.

Ms. Vu Kim Hanh, Chairwoman of the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Enterprises, shared at the program on October 9.

On October 9, the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Enterprises (HVNCLC) and the Center for Business Research and Enterprise Support (BSA) in collaboration with Vina T&T Group organized the Company Tour program. This activity is part of the program series "Green construction, green consumption 2025" to connect farmers, businesses, schools, towards the development of sustainable production and consumption, while spreading the spirit of innovation among young people.

Ms. Vu Kim Hanh, Chairwoman of the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Enterprises, said that Vietnamese enterprises are striving to develop in a green and sustainable direction by producing organic products, a trend that is increasingly attracting the attention of many consumers. However, high prices are still a factor that makes customers hesitant. Therefore, promoting links between farmers, businesses and schools is a practical solution to optimize costs, improve processes, create high-quality products at more reasonable prices, contributing to spreading green consumption.

"Resolutions 57 and 68 are the premise for programs like Company Tour to develop. Because without research and invention, there can be no innovation. Through this activity, we hope that future students can become suppliers of green, clean products while still in school; at the same time, expand the local connection network, contributing to building a stronger Vietnamese agricultural value chain," Ms. Vu Kim Hanh added.

Workers perform preliminary production stages in the direction of green production.

Accordingly, during the Company Tour, the delegation visited two export fruit processing factories of Vina T&T, learned about the preliminary processing, preservation and packaging processes according to US and European standards, as well as the quality control process and standard growing areas for export.

At the sharing session, the parties discussed technical support for farmers, quality requirements of businesses, research orientation for innovation in green agriculture and the role of communication in spreading sustainable production and consumption models.

High standard processing techniques are introduced to students early on so they can visualize green, clean production models locally.

From a business perspective, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Director of Hai Kim Long Agricultural Products Company Limited, said that through the program, the unit hopes to connect with more students, thereby encouraging young people to return to their hometowns to exploit and develop local specialties.

The cooperation between schools, students and businesses will open up many breakthrough projects and initiatives for the sustainable agricultural export industry.

Sharing the same view, representative of Vina T&T Group, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue, hopes that students will become an important bridge to help agricultural products, especially Vietnamese fruits, reach further in the international market through creative thinking and application of new technology in production and transportation.
