On March 4, 2022, VIN Taiwan participated in an online conference with the National Innovation Center (NIC) and Innovation Networks around the world to discuss promoting connections in the field of innovation. Creative Agriculture sector.
The workshop raised key issues of Vietnam's agricultural industry that need to be resolved: lack of market information, export dependence on foreign brands and distribution channels, low quality of agricultural products, limitations In the stages of preservation and processing, the input quality is not high (seeds, fertilizers, etc.), and there is a lack of sustainable internationalization orientation.
Some solutions to increase added value for Vietnamese agricultural products: Increase the application of digital technology at all stages of the value chain; Ensuring input quality (genes, seeds, fertilizers...); Strengthen testing and inspection of agricultural and food quality; Transferring and applying advanced processing and preservation technology, increasing product value and storage time; Packaging, product design and branding; Support exports and access to high-end market segments.
With the above issues raised, the Ministry of Planning and Investment of Vietnam is building the Center for Innovative Agricultural Development (tentative name) in Hoa Binh province with the goal of supporting agricultural businesses and improving the quality of agriculture. High added value and competitiveness for Vietnamese agricultural/food products. Functional areas of the center:
- Research and demonstration area for varieties and technology: demonstration and transfer of genes, plant varieties and outdoor technology, greenhouse technology, greenhouse technology, irrigation technology, ...
- Area to experience agricultural product preservation and processing technology: Demonstrating and transferring advanced technology in preserving and processing agricultural products.
- Quality inspection and testing area: building an international standard inspection and testing laboratory, providing inspection and certification services for agricultural products, machinery and technology.
- Logistics and cold storage area: provides a place to gather, preserve and transit agricultural products.
- Commercial and service area: providing exhibition services (seeds, fertilizers, machinery, technology, ...).
The center's model is also being considered for reference to the models of ITRI Industrial and Technology Research Institute, Taiwan's Binh Dong Agricultural Biotechnology Park, and models of other centers in Vietnam and China. In the world.
Technological issues raised:
- Handling agricultural product quarantine: irradiation technology, hot steam in dragon fruit, longan, lychee, mango products, ....
- Preserving fresh fruits and vegetables: nanotechnology, application of irradiation techniques, electric fields, packaging, cold preservation using electric field technology, ...
- Preserving dry agricultural products: freeze drying, vacuum drying, MA gas modulation, use of food products and additives, ...
With the above content, VIN Taiwan hopes to connect with experts and units that support consulting, provide solutions and transfer appropriate technology in Taiwan to introduce to the Center. National Innovation discusses project development cooperation.
