Vietnam and the Netherlands cooperates to improve quality of agricultural and food product chain

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Ms. Elsbeth Akkerman, Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Vietnam said: "The Dutch Government is honored to be invited by the Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc to join Vietnam Foodexpo 2018. The Netherlands is the second agricultural and food exporters of the world, so we bring to the exhibition many high quality products and technology. In recent years, Vietnam's agricultural products have become better in quality and marketed more and more in the European market. However, many products are lacking of high technology application so the Netherlands will go along with Vietnam to improve the value chain of agricultural products in Vietnam".

The Holland Pavilion at Vietnam Foodexpo 2018 is always packed with visitors to experience the high-quality Dutch products such as vegetables, cucumbers, asparagus, tomatoes, Pork, chicken of Dutch origin cultivated in Vietnam, Joly Red apples, veal, and other products with traditional Dutch flavors such as stroopwafer cakes, organic milk and cheese.
