Harnessing the joint power to promote sustainable agriculture
VM AgriSolutions is set to play a pivotal role in advancing regenerative and sustainable farming practices. The launch of this joint venture comes at a time when Vietnam’s agricultural sector is undergoing transformation to meet both domestic and global demands for sustainable farming. Vietnam’s agricultural sector serves as a vital foundation for the economy, achieving a GDP growth rate of 3.83% in 2023. However, the sector faces significant challenges, including climate change, soil degradation, pesticide overuse, and the need for sustainable practices to meet the needs of global standards.
Government initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impacts and enhancing productivity have highlighted the need for innovative agricultural inputs that meet both domestic and export demands. According to representatives from Vedan, VM AgriSolutions is expected to support these efforts by providing nature-friendly products and comprehensive technical support that enhance crop quality to meet international standards and boost export competitiveness. With Mitsui’s global network, agronomic knowledge and expertise in logistics, VM AgriSolutions is well-positioned to bring Vietnam’s agricultural innovations to the international stage. This approach not only supports sustainable practices but also aligns with the increasing global demand for eco-friendly and high-quality agricultural inputs.
