The delegation is led by representatives of the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, the Danish Agriculture and Food Council and accompanied by nine Danish agri-food companies specialising in the fields of livestock and fisheries, agricultural and food production and processing and temperature-controlled storage solutions.
According to Deputy Head of the Danish Embassy in Hanoi, Mette Ekeroth, green transition in the agriculture and food sector is always a central theme of cooperation between Denmark and Vietnam. "We hope that this visit of the Danish Sustainable Agriculture and Food delegation could serve as a platform for key stakeholders, Danish and Vietnamese, to meet, share insights and forge partnerships that will continue shaping the future of the agriculture and food production in both countries," he said.
On Wednesday, the Embassy of Denmark in partnership with the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and The Danish Agriculture and Food Council, jointly hosted the seminar, facilitated by Food Nation, under the title ‘Farming for the Future: A Danish - Vietnamese dialogue on green and efficient food and agriculture’.
The seminar comprised panel discussions, informative presentations, and networking opportunities. Representatives from Danish and Vietnamese agricultural and food companies had the opportunity to identify potential areas of synergy which helped lay the foundation for mutual beneficial collaboration in the future. Key areas of focus included the introduction of green solutions that not only boost efficiency but also uphold sustainability, and the development of innovative practices and technologies for the agriculture and food industry.
"We look forward to sharing these insights and inspiring further collaboration with key partners towards the green transition’ said Ms. Mie Ole Lauritzen, Director at Food Nation Denmark.
Lene Mølsted Jensen, SSC Chairman, Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, praised the importance of this cooperation opportunity and said "By having Danish and Vietnamese authorities and local stakeholders working together, it is possible to explore new ways of collaborating and exchange ideas to drive the green transition forward."
