The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on Dec. 17 officially launched an e-commerce market serving agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors at the website www.agromat.com.vn.

The e-commerce market is designed to help both businesses and customers easily get access to information regarding the market, products and legal regulations, contributing to reducing cost and promoting consumption of agriculture-related products.

At the launching ceremony, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Diep Kinh Tan said the market is of significance as it helps to boost the production of businesses and the export of agro-forestry products and seafood.

Agromat is linked with other popular e-commerce markets both at home and abroad and agricultural websites, therefore, it creates favourable conditions for businesses to increase exchange and seek out partners while raising competitiveness for businesses and their products in the context of global economic integration, Deputy Minister Tan said./.
