President of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) Andre Leu has vowed to help Vietnam’s organic farming sector achieve a sustainable, environmentally- friendly development in the time to come.
While meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc in Hanoi on September 24, Leu said the IFOAM, in the future, will develop schemes to forge closer links between the Vietnam Association of Organic Agriculture and their counterparts in the region and beyond.
The move is to get the Vietnamese wider access to organic farm produce, he noted.
Deputy PM Phuc, for his part, hailed the IFOAM’s active operations in the region and the world over the past time, which according to him, has benefited consumers, producers and the environment.
He said he hopes the organisation will help develop Vietnam’s organic farming on the back of its experience and initiatives, especially those related to policies, technical assistance, training, certification, market expansion and trademark advertising.-VNA
