An Australia-funded project has chosen nine leading agritech scale-ups from overseas to enter the Vietnamese market with an aim of solving the country’s most pressing agrifood challenges, according to the Australian Embassy in Hanoi.
“The country’s agricultural output is exacting a price on the environment. Business as usual’ is no longer an option for the sector–growth has slowed down, it is vulnerable to climate hazards, and leaves a large environmental footprint. Change will help overcome these challenges, ensure the future of agricultural growth, and better meet the expectations and aspirations of the people of Vietnam” said Ousmane Dione, World Bank Country Director for Vietnam.
