With the framework of Holland Village, experts and businesses from Europe and Vietnam met to exchange in formation and experience in managing food hygiene and safety.
They discussed measures to apply a model of food hygiene and safety management, good practices and food safety standards in Vietnam.
Vu Van Tam, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, said Vietnam has many advantages to boost agricultural production and increase the competitiveness of its farm products.
However, he said, Vietnam mostly exports raw materials and unprocessed agricultural products. Experience learnt from the Netherlands will enable local farmers to meet requirements of European and other international markets.
On this occasion, Deputy Minister Tam and Dutch Ambassador Joop Scheffers signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on private-public partnership (PPP) projects to boost production in the breeding sector.
