Da Lat farm produce and food will be sold at Lotte supermarkets as part of a cooperation agreement between the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong’s Trade, Investment and Tourism Centre and the Republic of Korea’s Lotte Mart signed on April 9.

The two sides agreed to bridge local businesses which specialise in manufacturing and processing vegetables, fruits, and food with the 10 Lotte supermarkets in Vietnam .

Lam Dong agriculture enterprises will be able to sign direct contracts with the RoK company to bring local farm produce to consumers across the country and receive support in goods transport.

Lotte supermarkets will reserve spaces offering Da Lat agricultural products abiding by the Vietnam Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP)’s manufacturing process.

Lam Dong is the biggest vegetable and flower growing area in the country with over 53,000 hectares of vegetables and 7,400 hectares of flowers, producing nearly 1.8 million tonnes of vegetables and 2.3 billion flowers annually.-VNA
