A medium to long-term vision for establishing food value chains in Vietnam has been formed through high-level dialogues by the Governments of Vietnam and Japan since June 2014 and approved by both countries this August. The goal of this cooperation framework is to promote exchange and cooperation between the two countries for the development of food value chain in collaboration with private investment.
Under this cooperation policy, JICA implements the "Technical cooperation project on development planning of agriculture sector in Nghe An" to establish a food value chain in connection with not only Vietnamese but also international market.
Nghe An province has been selected as one of the model regions to develop food value chain as is has varieties of geographical conditions including sea, plain, hill and mountain. So, assorted varieties of crops are currently produced in this locality, such as high-quality grains and vegetables in the alluvial plains, high-value passion fruits and orange in the hilly area and high-quality and safe tea and ginger in the mountainous area./.
