He said e-commerce platforms can help connect farmers with consumers and trusted suppliers to ensure quality, origin, and competitive prices.
Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan said unclear market information is negatively affecting supply and demand in the sector, hence a need for data transparency.
Hoan said it is also necessary for the agricultural sector to start building a database and master it, serving information analysis and production planning.
Chu Quang Hao from the council of members of the Vietnam Post Corporation (Vietnam Post) took the occasion to talk about the selling of lychees from Bac Giang province on e-commerce platforms Voso (run by Viettel Post) and Postmart (run by VnPost).
