'Nurturing' students to develop Vietnamese agricultural products.

According to the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Businesses, as the trend of green production and sustainable consumption becomes an inevitable direction, the connection between farmers, businesses, and schools is not only economic cooperation but also a foundation for innovation and long-term development.

Ms. Vu Kim Hanh, President of the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Businesses, shared this at the program on October 9th.

On October 9th, the Vietnam High-Quality Goods Business Association (HVNCLC) and the Business Research and Support Center (BSA), in collaboration with Vina T&T Group , organized a Company Tour. This activity is part of the "Green Buildings, Green Consumption 2025" program, aiming to connect farmers, businesses, and schools towards sustainable production and consumption, while also spreading the spirit of innovation among young people.

Ms. Vu Kim Hanh, President of the Association of High-Quality Vietnamese Goods Businesses, stated that Vietnamese businesses are striving to develop in a green and sustainable direction by producing organic products, a trend that is increasingly attracting consumer attention. However, high costs remain a deterrent for customers. Therefore, strengthening linkages between farmers, businesses, and schools is a practical solution to optimize costs, improve processes, create high-quality products at more reasonable prices, and contribute to spreading green consumption.

"Resolutions 57 and 68 are the foundation for the development of programs like Company Tour. Because without research and invention, there can be no innovation. Through this activity, we hope that future students can become suppliers of green and clean products even while still in school; and at the same time expand their local network, contributing to building a stronger Vietnamese agricultural value chain," added Ms. Vu Kim Hanh.

The workers carry out the preliminary processing stages of production in accordance with green production practices.

Accordingly, during the Company Tour, the delegation visited two of Vina T&T's export-oriented fruit processing plants, learning about the preliminary processing, preservation, and packaging processes according to US and European standards, as well as the quality control process and the certified growing areas for export.

During the sharing session, the parties discussed technical support for farmers, quality requirements for businesses, research directions for innovation in green agriculture , and the role of media in disseminating sustainable production and consumption models.

High-standard processing techniques are introduced to students early on so that they can visualize green and clean production models in their local area.

From a business perspective, Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan, Director of Hai Kim Long Agricultural Products Co., Ltd., said that through the program, the company hopes to connect with more students, thereby encouraging young people to return to their hometowns to exploit and develop local specialties.

Collaboration between schools, students, and businesses will open up many groundbreaking projects and initiatives for sustainable agricultural exports.

Sharing this view, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue , representative of Vina T&T Group, expressed her hope that students will become an important bridge helping Vietnamese agricultural products, especially fruits, reach further into the international market through creative thinking and the application of new technologies in production and transportation.
