Participants at the seminar
Speaking at the event, ambassador of Denmark, Nicolai Prytz, said that the seminar is a good opportunity for Danish and Vietnamese sector policy-makers and managers, experts, researchers, and not least entrepreneurs to continue and strengthen the ongoing exchange of experiences and knowledge transfer in organic production and management.
Attending the seminar, partner of Let's Eco ApS cum CEO of D1888 Vietnam Co., Ltd, Teddy Hviid, added that his company had 100 percent of products certified as organic following the Danish organic standards and guidelines, which in some cases are even stricter than EU rules.
"We, therefore, have many experiences and good practice in terms of production and management of organic products to share with Vietnamese participants," he said. "We hope that through our exchange of knowledge and networking today, we can encourage Vietnamese partners, businesses and consumers to support and promote production and use of organic food, for our own health and sustainable living environment."
The event also saw the attendance of representatives from Vietnamese and Danish agricultural and food sectors, including Vietnamese Agro Processing and Market Development Authority, Vietnamese Institute of Nutrition, Danish Food Nation, and Danish Agriculture and Food Council.
The seminar is part of a long-term cooperation between Denmark and Vietnam to support Vietnam’s efforts to transform the agriculture and food sector towards green and sustainability.
