Tomorrow on February 28, the Executive Team of the 970 Agricultural Connection Forum (MARD) and the Agribusiness Reference Group (ARG) of the Australian Center for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) in Vietnam co-organized the forum "Promoting digitization in traceability of agricultural and food products" at the headquarters of the Vietnam Agriculture Newspaper (No. 14 Ngo Quyen, Trang Tien Ward, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi) and the Southern Regional Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (135 Pasteur, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City). The forum is held both live and online on the platforms of Vietnam Agriculture News.

The forum "Promoting digitization in traceability of agricultural and food products" aims to help investors, agro-food processing units, supermarkets, convenience stores, local agricultural wholesale markets, a number of research units and universities further participate in promoting digitization in traceability of agro-product and food.

According to the Organizing Committee, the forum is expected to create opportunities for actors in the agro-food value chains and housing management to exchange information, embrace the challenges and seize the opportunities in applying traceability and product quality management to meet the requirements of markets worldwide.

Through the forum, businesses, cooperatives and production households will be updated with relevant information about the latest regulations, institutions, and support policies of the Government on traceability and growing area/packing code especially in the production and processing of agricultural products and food. At the same time, enterprises have the chance to share some successful ways of promoting digitalization in traceability of agro-product and food, which will become topics of discussion for study.

Government agencies will also gain a deeper understanding of the difficulties that businesses, cooperatives and production households have to face in the process of applying digitalization in traceability and product quality management and provide directions for future solutions.
