Vietnam’s agricultural sector plays
an important role in the global agri-food value chain. As
the sector having the highest trade surplus in one of the
most open economies in the world, Vietnam’s agricultural
sector was affected by Coronavirus (COVID-19) in two main
ways. Firstly, raw materials and immediate input supplies
for the sector were disrupted due to the early outbreak in
Asian countries, especially China, which supply most
agricultural inputs such as fertilizers and plant protection
products. Secondly and compounding this trend, demand has
dropped significantly due to mobility restrictions and
reduced economic activity within the country and its most
important markets, such as the US and Europe. The objective
of this study was to enhance Vietnam’s trade and
competitiveness, focusing on strengthening private sector
participation in global value-chains and food safety
awareness and compliance. This report is structured as
follows. The first chapter presents the context, objectives
and approach for the study. The second chapter highlights
the key issues, challenges and gaps in Vietnam’s food safety
risk assessment. The third chapter presents some of the key
lessons and experiences in food safety risk management from
some countries within the region and more advanced
economies, as a basis to inform Vietnam’s national food
safety risk assessment framework. Chapter four makes
recommendations on how to strengthen Vietnam’s National food
safety risk assessment committee. |
