The fisheries and aquaculture sectors are significant contributors to the economy of Viet Nam. However, between 1976 and 1992, the Vietnamese fisheries sector experienced rapidly declining outputs due to adverse conditions such as low skills in aquatic management and exploitation, irregular and low-quality supply of materials to the processing industry, worn down production facilities and limited knowledge of modern marketing principles. Countering these constraints and deficiencies was crucial for Viet Nam to increase its fisheries and agricultural exports by gaining access to the highly regulated markets of the European Community (EC). In order to do this Viet Nam developed a twofold strategy.
In January 2007, Viet Nam became the 150th member of the World Trade Organization, after 11 years of preparation, including eight years of negotiation. Vietnamese Trade Minister Truong Dinh Tuyen said the negotiations for WTO membership closely accompanied his country's economic reforms, known as "doi moi". Until recently, Viet Nam did not have any legislation on trade defense measures and, hence, did not possess competence in this area. As a WTO member, Viet Nam needs to carry out investigations and to react to measures initiated against its industries by other countries. This is where ITC played a key role. ITC developed a TDI project with three objectives: to upgrade the TDI legal framework; to train officials that implement trade defense instruments (TDI); and to raise awareness amo...
Operating through more than 20 formal, and many less formal public-private partnerships (PPP), Nestle works with agricultural producers and governmental and non-governmental agencies to deliver innovative solutions to water management and sustainable farming practices in developing countries. Nestle set up the Shuangcheng milk production facility in Heilongjiang Province, north-east China, in 1987. It is the largest facility of its kind in Asia and ranks fourth in the world in terms of annual dairy production in the Nestle Group. In 2005 Nestle entered into a PPP project to promote the sustainable production of Robusta coffee in Viet Nam. Together with the Neumann Kaffee Gruppe and GTZ, the German-based international cooperation enterprise, the company implemented a pilot project for be...

Three countries, Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam, account for almost 60% of world production. Latin American countries combined account for 63%. Brazil currently supplies about a third of world production but the proportion has varied significantly over the years: 48% in 1852; 75% in 1900; 19% in 1964, jumping to 46% a year later in 1965; and 26% in 1993. Brazil has a cost advantage due to high efficiency, for example, through automatic harvesting and irrigation. Frost and drought have been the main causes for fluctuations in production, with a corresponding influence on world prices. Viet Nam entered the scene in the late 1980s. It increased production from around 500,000 bags in 1986 to about 12 million bags yearly since 2000 - around 11% of world supply. Almost all coffee from Viet Na...
The coffee market is over-supplied. With the price of coffee at its lowest in a century, there will be winners and losers in the fierce competition for exports. Getting producers to "add value" to coffee and earn more revenue is a commonly proposed solution. However, this proposal is complex and, for many producers, unrealistic. The collapse of world coffee prices is causing many exporting countries to suffer their worst economic crisis in years. How did this happen to one of the world's largest commodities? The over-supply of coffee is due to several factors: rapid expansion of production in Viet Nam; new plantations in Brazil; higher yields; increased efficiency; and incentives to expand production, such as the liberalization of markets in the 1990s, which led to an increase in coffee...
In an interview, Jocelyn Wyatt, head of IDEO's social innovation design domain, talked about the power of design to change the world. IDEO began 30 years ago by designing products. However, over time they've applied the approach of human-centered design to services, spaces, businesses and systems. They believe in the power of design thinking to enrich and transform, and to take on big challenges that the world faces, from climate change to education and health care to financial inclusion. They are currently working with Acumen Fund on a water project in India and Kenya. They have developed a social marketing campaign to spread awareness about the importance of drinking safe water and a water delivery business and cart for female micro-entrepreneurs to deliver water in slum communities. ...
