Plan issued to develop agricultural logistics system

A key target is that by 2030, all concentrated agricultural, forestry and fisheries production areas will have access to essential services, including product traceability, quarantine, testing, quality certification, processing and market development. The move reflects growing international demand for stricter food safety, quality and traceability standards, which have become increasingly important for agricultural exports.

Hanoi (VNA) - The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has issued a plan to develop the country's agricultural logistics system for 2026-2030, aiming to improve the quality and competitiveness of Vietnamese farm produce while laying the foundation for sustainable growth in the sector.

A key target is that by 2030, all concentrated agricultural, forestry and fisheries production areas will have access to essential services, including product traceability, quarantine, testing, quality certification, processing and market development. The move reflects growing international demand for stricter food safety, quality and traceability standards, which have become increasingly important for agricultural exports.

The plan also requires all 34 cities and provinces to incorporate agricultural logistics into their development strategies and allocate resources to expand warehouses, storage facilities, transport services and other infrastructure suited to local production. These networks will be linked with regional logistics hubs, seaports, expressways and border gates, helping strengthen supply chains and reduce fragmented development across localities.

Another major objective is for 80% of agricultural logistics enterprises to adopt digital technologies by 2030. The plan promotes the use of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and big data to improve cold-chain management, product traceability and real-time cargo monitoring. These technologies are expected to shorten delivery times, lower logistics costs and enable businesses to track shipments throughout the supply chain while responding more effectively to disruptions.

The ministry also encourages the development of green logistics networks connecting domestic regions with international markets through multimodal transport, aligning the agricultural sector with global trends toward sustainable and low-carbon supply chains.

Although Vietnam is a leading producer and exporter of many agricultural products, high logistics costs, inadequate cold-chain infrastructure and limited testing and traceability capacity continue to undermine export competitiveness. A modern logistics system is therefore seen as a critical step in transforming the country's production strengths into greater commercial value, enabling agricultural products to reach global markets more efficiently and with higher added value./.
