Launch of digital agricultural map

Launching the Vietnam Agricultural Products Map

The Ministry of Industry and Trade has launched the Digital Agricultural Product Map. This is a platform to look up typical agricultural products of 34 provinces and cities. It includes information such as origin, contact information and production area of each product.

This platform is the beginning of the goal of building a unified database of Vietnamese agricultural products nationwide, contributing to promoting and connecting agricultural product consumption in the market. After launching, this map will be regularly updated by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and made public at www.dms.gov.vn.

According to the implementation plan, in the first phase, the Vietnam Agricultural Products Map will introduce a number of typical agricultural products of each province and city, representing the advantages, identity and economic values of the locality. The product list is proposed by the Department of Industry and Trade of the provinces and cities, on the basis of ensuring criteria on quality, reputation and regional representation. This approach helps to reflect the diverse and rich picture of Vietnamese agricultural products, while creating a foundation for expanding and perfecting the database in the next phases.

This initial selection is not only to introduce typical products, bearing the unique characteristics of each locality, but also to create a foundation for the process of completing and expanding national agricultural product data in the coming time. Thereby, aiming to build a unified, updated, and transparent database of Vietnamese agricultural products connecting farmers - businesses with consumers, effectively serving the management, trade promotion and promotion of the image of Vietnamese agricultural products in both domestic and international markets.

Not only stopping at the role of introduction, the Vietnamese Agricultural Products Map is oriented to develop into an open search platform, providing a comprehensive information system on origin, growing areas, production processes, quality certification, as well as enterprises, production cooperatives and domestic distribution channels. With this data source, the map is not only a promotional tool, but also plays a role as a bridge between producers, consumers, distributors and export partners, contributing to improving competitiveness and increasing the brand value of Vietnamese agricultural products.

“We expect that each product appearing on the map will not only reflect quality and reputation, but also spread cultural values, working spirit and unique marks of each region on the S-shaped strip of land,” said a representative of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development.
