Tra Vinh helps SMEs enhance peanut value
A workshop was held in the Mekong Delta province of Tra Vinh on November 8 to help local small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to promote the value chain of peanut.
Participants agreed on measures to enhance the value chain of peanut by improving product quality, creating more jobs, enhancing the competitiveness of peanut processing companies to expand their markets, and reducing production costs.
Basing on studies by experts from Can Tho University, the project will provide assistance for local SMEs to enhance the value chain of peanut products, Oanh said.
The province’s SME Development Project was launched on January 30, 2015 at a total cost of CAD12.1 million (US$9.67 million), including 11 million CAD funded by the Canadian Agency for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development.
