ACIAR Digital Export Traceability Vietnam
Project Partner
Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research
Duration
2023 - 2026
Summary
The project aims to monitor and improve VietGAP compliance in the Vietnamese export fruit value chains through the use of digital tools.
The growing fruit industry in the northwest region faces a decline in fresh fruit prices due to oversupply in the domestic market and difficulties in exporting to China.
The project will aim to understand the current limitations in the development of the fruit export industry and develop a plan to demonstrate the benefits of digital traceability in accessing new export markets.
The research strategy aims to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and help create resilient and competitive agri-food chains.
The project will achieve impact by:
• piloting export value chains in commercial operation
• digital technology showcase as a platform for change
• improving local capacity and grower support in Vietnam
