Vietnam partners with Israel for hi-tech agricultural innovation

Vitad and Ginosar will establish a dedicated laboratory in Vietnam by the end of this year. Ginosar will leverage its infrastructure, genetic resources, and core technology to transfer lab capabilities to Vitad. This move will enable the company to develop superior crop varieties for large-scale cultivation, building extensive raw material zones to expand exports and create substantial economic value for Vietnamese farmers and businesses.

Tel Aviv (VNA) – Vietnam's Vitad Group and Israel's Ginosar Agro on March 12 signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement to accelerate the adoption of advanced Israeli technology in crop development across Vietnam.

Ginosar Agro, renowned for its innovative agricultural solutions, excels in enhancing product quality, boosting productivity, and maximising investment returns. With expertise in tissue culture technology, the company produces millions of top-tier seedlings annually for the global market.

Having collaborated for several years, Vitad and Ginosar have now upgraded their partnership to a new level of strategic cooperation. This enhanced alliance underscores their joint commitment to advancing agricultural growth in both nations.

Moving beyond the simple import of seedlings, Vitad and Ginosar will establish a dedicated laboratory in Vietnam by the end of this year. Ginosar will leverage its infrastructure, genetic resources, and core technology to transfer lab capabilities to Vitad. This move will enable the company to develop superior crop varieties for large-scale cultivation, building extensive raw material zones to expand exports and create substantial economic value for Vietnamese farmers and businesses.

A key highlight of this agreement is the transfer of in vitro propagation technology for selecting plant species to improve yield and disease resistance. The partnership will also introduce drip irrigation systems and smart agriculture solutions to enhance water efficiency and optimise crop care processes. Additionally, both sides will collaborate on workforce training, market development, investment in modern production models, and long-term research initiatives.

This strategic partnership marks a major milestone in modernising Vietnam's agricultural sector while elevating the global competitiveness of Vietnamese farm products.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Israel Ly Duc Trung stressed the significance of the laboratory's establishment as a testament to the success of a Vietnamese enterprise in fostering deeper bilateral cooperation.

Instead of merely importing plants and seedlings, both sides will now collaborate on research to develop crop varieties tailored to Vietnam's soil conditions and consumer preferences, ambassador Trung noted, expressing his belief that this will provide a significant boost to Vietnam's agriculture./.
