HCM CITY — Adopting high sustainability standards puts pressure on the agricultural sector but also creates opportunities to gain a competitive edge, experts have said. Nguyễn Thi Thanh An, country manager of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research in Việt Nam, spoke about the experiences acquired while helping vegetable farmers in Mộc Châu get Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP) certification. This could help enhance and promote Vietnamese agricultural brands, he said. The company’s farm in Nghệ An is the first of its kind to receive a PAS 2060 carbon neutral certification. Hùng, senior programme manager for logistics and supply chain management at RMIT Vietnam said: “When all companies strive to compete on costs, quality and delivery, being green can help a company win sales orders and achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
