Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam wants to acquire advanced technology and enhance its cooperation with British enterprises to increase the value of food while ensuring benefits to consumers, Doan Duy Khuong, Executive Vice President of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Indu♊stry (VCCI) highlighted.
He told the Vietnam-UK Cooperation and Innovation in Food Industry conference held in Hanoi on April 14 that the Vietnamese Government always encourages the production of high-value food that meets food safety standards, aiming to build prestige for businesses and create an excellent reputation for Vietnamese products.
A substantial surge in food consumption in the coming years will set forth both opportunities and challenges for domestic enterprises as they are asked to obey strict regulations on food safety from import countries, Khuong added.
