“Sustainability and circularity are the focal points for the cooperation between the Netherlands and Vietnam. There are many opportunities for Vietnamese and Dutch businesses to cooperate and contribute to the sustainable development of the Vietnamese horticulture and floriculture sector, which will lead to the upgrade of the sector,” 

Ms. Ingrid Korving, Agricultural Counsellor of the Netherlands Embassy in Vietnam.

The Vietnamese Horticulture sector is flourishing, with production systems slowly shifting from traditional open-field production to protected cultivation. Food safety and quality are becoming more significant due to increasing local consumer demand for safe food and high standards and the increased exports to various foreign markets, including the EU. 

For 2023 the Vietnamese GDP is expected to grow by about 7%, which makes Vietnam a fastest-growing economy in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region.
