Jun 29, 2015 / 06:27 PM

The World Bank has approved an additional aid of US$45 million for Livestock Competitiveness and Food Safety Project for Viet Nam.

The objectives of the Livestock Competitiveness and Food Safety Project for Viet Nam are to increase the production efficiency of household-based livestock producers, to reduce the environmental impact of livestock production, processing and marketing, and to improve food safety in livestock product supply chains (mainly meat) in selected provinces.
The project is aimed at supporting the improvement of the competitiveness of household-based livestock production, food safety and hygiene along the meat supply chain and the environmental management of livestock waste.
