Vietnam seminar talks supply chains

VAFIE president Professor Nguyen Mai emphasised the seminar offered an opportunity for producers, wholesalers and retailers to cooperate and establish linkage to reduce the time and costs of transporting goods from production bases to the storeroom shelves.

Vu Vinh Phu, president of the Hanoi Supermarket Association in turn stressed the need to closely connect the nation’s 700 supermarkets and 100 trade centres to more effectively provide consumers higher quality food at reasonable prices.

Other speakers underscored the need for businesses to elevate freshness and product quality and bolster brand recognition through improved marketing and otherwise in order to boost sales and profits.
