Vietnam's industrial development strategy to 2025 with a vision to 2035 under the Prime Minister's Decision No. 879 / QD-TTg dated 9 June 2014 identified three priority industries Development, in which the processing industry was selected first.
In order to implement that strategy, the Prime Minister also issued Decision No.880 / QD-TTg approving the master plan on development of Vietnam's industries up to 2020 with a vision to 2030. Accordingly, To develop the agriculture, forestry and fishery products, food and beverage industry in a modern manner and step by step raise the competitiveness for active integration into the region and the world; To focus on building and developing the brand in domestic and export markets.
According to Phan Chanh Duong - economist - we have the potential and strengths in land, soil, climate, human resources with abundant agricultural resources, suitable for food processing industry.
On the same point, Diep Nam Hai - Deputy General Director of Cholimex - is very pleased with the potential strength of the food processing industry in Vietnam. Potential of agricultural materials of Vietnam rich. But the state must have a clear orientation and support mechanism for enterprises and people from the control of material culture, processing and consumption.
Journalist Tran Hoang informs: Philip Kotler - the father of modern marketing - in a lecture in Vietnam has suggested: "If China is the factory of the world, Vietnam be the kitchen of the world. " In fact, the past time Vietnamese cuisine has been the food experts as well as many international friends love and learn. So how can Vietnam be the "food store of the world" and how to do it?
Mr. Duong Nghia Hiep - Deputy Director of Can Tho City Department of Industry and Trade - said that as a driving force for regional development, Can Tho city determined that the food processing industry is one of the key industries together with one Other supporting industries, associated with abundant raw material areas of rice, shrimp, fish and fruit of the Mekong Delta. Vietnam is probably the "food store of the world".
Mr. Dang Vu Ngoan, Rector of Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry, said that in 2015, the top two majors in the industry, one in the medical industry and the other in the processed food industry. This shows that these industries now and in the future will meet the needs of business, social, students who have jobs after graduation. Mr. Ngoan noted that our food processing industry should also be clearly identified as a clean, healthy and nutritious food that is not redundant to cause illness.
Hi-tech food industrial zone
In order to facilitate the sustainable development of the food industry in the domestic market and to gradually occupy foreign markets such as Decision 880 / QD-TTg, in the opinion of experts, there are many solutions needed. It was implemented in which the idea of forming hi-tech food processing zones created new business opportunities and strengths for the food processing industry in Vietnam through the integration of industries. Different from many utility services, from research and development (R & D), raw material gathering, packaging design, packaging, food hygiene and safety, quality control, brand building ... , To help businesses improve products or develop new products with high added value.
Phan Minh Quoc, deputy director of Vietnam-Korea Industrial Technology Incubator, said that the nursery has now been completed. The nursery will meet the needs of incubating new product technologies for the development of the agricultural, fishery and mechanical processing industries in service of agricultural and fishery processing. The nursery can undertake research and development for the food processing industry in the Mekong Delta.
According to journalist Tran Hoang, the government and local authorities have always favored linking and wanting to successfully link up with regional tools. The hi-tech food industrial park may be a good tool for this work, where aggregate demand for raw materials for processing. On the basis of aggregate demand, high-tech food industrial zones will link localities, linking farmers to form raw material areas and value chains. In the south, according to the characteristics of raw materials in each region, can form a processing area in the South East and a processing area in the South West. Based on the foundation of the Vietnam-Korea Industrial Technology Incubator, Can Tho can establish a hi-tech food processing industrial zone in the Mekong Delta.
According to Chang, Chang-hyoek, deputy director of the South-East Promotion Company, has formed successful food processing clusters. Vietnam has many quality products like fruits, seafood, rice, vegetables but most of the raw but not refined and not brand. The world knows Korea through the famous electronic and automotive brands such as SamSung, LG, Hyundai...Why can not the world know Vietnam through the famous food brands such as Trung Nguyen coffee - G7, or beer 333? In the future, Vietnam needs to focus on branding. The Hi-tech food industrial park and Can Tho can do this.
Mr. Phan Chanh Duong notes that for the food processing industry to succeed, it is necessary first to take the domestic market as the origin. Why export turnover of basa fish is very big, but domestic market share is less than 10%? We are not used to many processed products using fresh produce. In addition, the strategy for developing the food sector is clear; the problem is that localities must work together with ministries and sectors to develop appropriate, long-term and persistent mechanisms to promote development. "
According to data forecast by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam's food consumption in 2016 will increase 5.1%, estimated at 29.5 billion. Per capita consumption of food at that time was about 5.8 million VND (equivalent to 316 USD).
