Việt Nam is pushing ahead with plans to make electronic traceability mandatory for food products.— VNA/VNS Photo Minh Quyết</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>HÀ NỘI — As counterfeit food products spread more easily through online marketplaces and fragmented supply chains, Việt Nam is turning to QR codes and digital traceability systems as a new frontline defence.But behind the promise of smarter food safety lies a more complicated reality, where rising costs, weak oversight and unreliable data threaten to undermine consumer trust.Under proposed amendments to the Law on Food Safety drafted by the Ministry of Health, food products circulating on the market would be required to carry traceability information through QR codes, barcodes, DataMatrix or other digital tools.The move is needed because current regulations do not clearly require electronic identification and traceability, which creates loopholes that have made it harder to combat counterfeit goods, smuggled food products and fake products, especially those sold online, according to the ministry.The proposal also reflected a broader push toward digital governance and safer food supply chains, with QR codes increasingly promoted as a technological solution allowing consumers and regulators to trace products and enabling from-farm-to-table value chain.Yet behind the black-and-white squares printed on packaging lies a more complicated reality.For agricultural cooperatives, the cost of applying QR codes to every product can quickly become a financial burden.A vegetable cooperative supplying millions of products each month must pay not only for printing labels, but also for labour, software subscriptions and data management systems required to maintain digital traceability platforms.Phạm Ngọc Thạch, director of Sunfood Đà Lạt Agricultural Services Cooperative in Lâm Đồng Province, told vnbusiness.vn that the largest expense was not only the labels but also the annual fees charged by traceability platforms.“Without support, many cooperatives will struggle to maintain the system in the long term,” Thạch said.Each traceability label is estimated to cost between VNĐ200 and VNĐ500. For a cooperative selling 10,000 products a day, monthly spending on labels alone can reach VNĐ5-15 million, directly cutting into already thin profit margins.Trust questions<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/28/503227_qr.jpeg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>A Sói Biển food store in Hà Nội. QR codes are necessary, but their effectiveness depends on transparent data, ethical producers and strict supervision. — VNA/VNS Photo Lê Đông</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>A real problem is that QR codes only display information entered into the system by producers and cannot independently verify whether production standards were actually followed.Nguyễn Hải Hà, a consumer in Hà Nội, questioned how buyers could know whether produce inside a package truly matched the information shown by a QR code.“If the code says the vegetables came from a certified farm, but the actual product did not, how would consumers know?” she said.“And who would be responsible?”Such concerns have fuelled fears that traceability technology could be misused to legitimise poor-quality products rather than eliminate them, potentially undermining consumer trust.Hoàng Văn Thám, director of Chúc Sơn Cooperative, said QR codes were necessary, but their effectiveness would depend on transparent data, ethical producers and strict supervision.Experts say improving food safety requires tighter control over the roots of the supply chain rather than focusing mainly on traceability labels, including stricter oversight of fertilisers, pesticides and seeds entering the market, along with tougher enforcement against counterfeit agricultural inputs.Nguyễn Văn Hà, head of Nghệ An’s Sub-Department of Quality Management, Processing and Market Development, said digital traceability would help improve transparency and strengthen confidence in Vietnamese agricultural products.Still, QR technology alone cannot solve the country’s food safety challenges.“Traceability is an inevitable trend in the digital economy,” one agricultural specialist said.“But if the roots of the supply chain are not transparent, QR codes risk becoming little more than a clean label covering products that are not truly clean.”Nguyễn Trung Đông from the Institute of Public Policy and Rural Development under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said it would be necessary to enhance management of the market for fertilisers and pesticides.QR traceability systems should be accompanied by broader reforms across the agricultural supply chain, he added.He called for State subsidies for traceability software and digital equipment instead of leaving cooperatives to navigate the technology market on their own.National systemThe Ministry of Public Security has proposed a national platform for product identification, authentication and traceability in an effort to prevent counterfeits and low-quality products.Under the proposal, each product would be assigned a unique identification code (UID), allowing consumers to scan QR codes through a mobile application or national web portal to access information on origin, distribution history and product legality.The ministry said counterfeit goods were becoming increasingly sophisticated, with fake QR labels, duplicated codes and fraudulent origin claims appearing more frequently, especially on e-commerce platforms and social media.The proposed platform would also allow consumers to report suspected violations directly to authorities through the application.Businesses, meanwhile, would be able to integrate the national platform with existing management systems such as ERP, POS and warehouse software, reducing compliance costs and simplifying reporting procedures.Officials said the system could also help Vietnamese goods meet stricter transparency requirements under free trade agreements such as the EVFTA and CPTPP, improving export competitiveness.The draft proposal is expected to be submitted to the Government in the second quarter of this year. — VNS

By early this year, outstanding loans for agriculture and rural development reached approximately VNĐ4.2 quadrillion. VNA/VNS Photo</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>HÀ NỘI — From carbon emissions to product traceability, global markets are placing unprecedented pressure on agricultural exporters to go green. In Việt Nam, experts believe the next transformation of farming will not be driven by seeds or machinery alone, but by a fundamental shift in how capital flows into the agricultural economy.According to Nguyễn Quang Huy, head of the Faculty of Finance and Banking at Nguyễn Trãi University, major export markets are increasingly enforcing stricter standards on environmental protection, carbon emissions and traceability.As a result, green transformation is no longer optional but is gradually becoming a prerequisite for agricultural products seeking deeper access to international markets.In this transition, green credit is viewed as a critical tool for reshaping production models and enhancing the competitiveness of Việt Nam’s agricultural sector.Statistics show that by early this year, outstanding loans for agriculture and rural development reached approximately VNĐ4.2 quadrillion, up more than 14 per cent compared to the previous year. This accounted for over 22 per cent of total outstanding credit in the economy and directly supported more than 14.6 million customers nationwide.In 2025 alone, agricultural credit exceeded VNĐ4 quadrillion, representing 23-25 per cent of total outstanding loans across the economy. However, most lending still relied on traditional collateral-based models.Meanwhile, green loans by the end of 2025 reached between VNĐ780 trillion and VNĐ850 trillion, but only slightly more than 3 per cent was allocated to the agriculture sector, agricultural products and fisheries.Green shiftHuy noted that the government had taken an important step by issuing Decision 21 in July 2025 on environmental criteria and the certification of projects classified as green. This marked the first formal foundation for developing green credit in a more systematic manner.Nevertheless, implementation remains fragmented due to the absence of a unified green standards framework across the banking system, according to Huy. Each financial institution currently applies different assessment criteria, making it difficult for businesses to access capital and creating inconsistencies in project evaluation.At the same time, the current credit model reveals significant limitations. Capital flows are still mainly directed toward individual small-scale farming households, while green and digital agriculture require close integration along value chains. This weakens capital efficiency and hinders the development of large-scale production zones.Another major challenge lies in the lack of agricultural data. Existing data remains fragmented and incomplete, while the credit system for green and digital agriculture require transparent information, traceability, and real-time risk monitoring to function effectively.The difficulties are not limited to farmers. Many enterprises and cooperatives also lack the capacity to meet green transition requirements.Businesses still face shortcomings in standards on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, while cooperatives struggle with governance issues, and many farmers lack digital skills and access to technology.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/28/502716_agro.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>A durian orchard in Quảng Ngãi Province cultivated according to VietGAP standards. VNA/VNS Photo</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Structural barriersExperts warn that without simultaneously addressing barriers related to data infrastructure, production linkages and credit mechanisms, the transition toward green and digital agriculture will proceed far more slowly than expected.According to Huy, the challenge is no longer simply about expanding lending quotas or lowering interest rates. Instead, it requires rebuilding the entire agricultural ecosystem – from capital flows and data systems to technology and institutional frameworks.In particular, financing must shift away from lending for isolated projects toward value-chain-based financing. This means banks should evaluate not only individual producers but the entire chain, from production and processing to distribution and consumption.When credit is tied to value chains, quality control, traceability and compliance with green standards become significantly more effective.Alongside policies promoting land consolidation and large-scale farming models, Huy emphasised the urgent need to build a digital agricultural data ecosystem integrating production data, environmental information and traceability systems. Such a platform would form a large-scale data infrastructure to support governance and credit allocation.At the same time, expanding knowledge and training in agricultural digitalisation would be essential to help farmers, cooperatives, and businesses improve digital capabilities. This is considered a crucial condition for green and digital credit to develop effectively, instead of continuing to rely heavily on physical collateral.Chain financingNguyễn Văn Long, chairman and CEO of Nhật Long JSC, agreed that rather than providing isolated loans, banks should assess the entire production-to-consumption chain when determining repayment capacity.For enterprises, the greatest advantage is more stable and flexible access to capital. When enterprises have linkage contracts and secured market outlets, banks are more likely to view projects as feasible and less risky. This allows businesses to confidently invest in the development of seeds, agricultural inputs, production technology, processing and logistics.When financing is integrated into production chains, enterprises have better condition to scale up and improve operational efficiency.In addition, enterprises can establish traceability systems, production standards and stricter quality-control mechanisms, to meet market requirements and improve competitiveness.However, businesses must possess strong governance capacity to manage the entire chain effectively. A disruption in any stage could create ripple effects throughout the system.To make value-chain financing effective, all sides need coordination in action. Enterprises must improve financial transparency, strengthen governance, and adopt technology in production and traceability.Credit institutions, meanwhile, must modernise their appraisal methods and participate more deeply in agricultural value chains.Huy also stressed that the government should soon establish a unified green credit framework for the banking sector, while introducing support mechanisms to help businesses obtain green certifications and gain access to sustainable export markets.At the same time, the development of green credit guarantee funds and agricultural insurance mechanisms would help reduce risks for both banks and borrowers. — VNS

The implementation of the EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) in recent years has significantly helped elevate bilateral trade ties to a new level.He highlighted that the two sides upgraded their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in January 2026, making Việt Nam the first ASEAN country to establish the highest-level relationship with the EU.The EU is currently Việt Nam's fourth-largest trading partner and fifth-biggest foreign investor globally, he said, stressing that Việt Nam particularly values the strategic role and position of the EU – the world's third-largest economy and a pioneer in promoting sustainable development, green transition, the circular economy, digital transformation, just energy transition and free trade.According to the NA Vice Chairman, Việt Nam is entering a new development phase with a strong determination to pursue institutional reforms, accelerate digital transformation and green transition, and promote science, technology and innovation-driven growth to achieve its long-term national development goals for 2030 and 2045, including double-digit growth in the near future.The NA always attaches importance to improving institutional frameworks and building a comprehensive, transparent and development-enabling legal environment to support both domestic and foreign businesses, including European enterprises operating in Việt Nam, he affirmed.To effectively implement the Việt Nam–EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Diên called on the EU Ambassador to Việt Nam and the EuroCham Chairman to promote exchanges and visits by business delegations from both sides to explore investment and business opportunities, helping bring bilateral economic and trade relations into greater depth and effectively implement the EVFTA.Việt Nam welcomes European enterprises investing in hi-tech industries, green growth, renewable energy, transport and environmental infrastructure, smart cities and the maritime economy, he stated.The official also called for support to promote the remaining six EU member states' early ratification of the EU–Vietnam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA), saying the deal will help create a comprehensive breakthrough in bilateral investment cooperation, similar to the impressive outcomes achieved under the EVFTA.He proposed the European Commission (EC) soon remove its "yellow card" warning against Vietnamese seafood exports after recognising Việt Nam's efforts in combating illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.EuroCham should also step up activities to support Vietnamese businesses in complying with new EU regulations such as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and the Deforestation Regulation while providing maximum assistance for Việt Nam in terms of capital, technology, and human resources training to jointly protect the environment and climate, and promote green and sustainable development, the host went on.Diên asked both sides to strengthen cooperation in responding to global challenges, with priority given to the effective implementation of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) between Việt Nam and the International Partners Group, including the EU.For his part, EuroCham Chairman Bruno Jaspaert praised Việt Nam's efforts and progress in institutional reforms and improving the legal environment for investors and businesses.He called for continued support from the Government, NA, and competent authorities in Việt Nam for European enterprises.EuroCham Vice Chairman Jean-Jacques Bouflet said the EU is ready to assist Việt Nam in finance and technology to help the country achieve fast and sustainable growth. In particular, with the EU's Global Gateway initiative, the bloc is ready to invest in infrastructure, smart connectivity, green transition and the circular economy.The EuroCham delegation emphasised that the increased sharing of experiences and best practices in lawmaking and enforcement between the two sides will benefit regulatory agencies, citizens and businesses. — VNA/VNS

Việt Nam’s southern coastal region, targeting double-digit growth in the years ahead.Following the administrative merger with Bạc Liêu&nbsp;Province, the enlarged&nbsp;Cà Mau now covers nearly 8,000sq.km and holds a strategic geographical position with three sides facing the sea and several island clusters serving as important maritime gateways.Provincial authorities say the locality is receiving increasing support from the Government and central ministries through a series of large scale transport and logistics projects designed to strengthen regional connectivity and reinforce national defence and security.Transport pushRecognising transport infrastructure as a key driver of growth, Cà Mau has prioritised investment in socio-economic infrastructure, particularly transport networks, to ensure better integration among road, sea and air transport systems.Several regional and national level projects are currently under development, including the Cần Thơ-Cà Mau-Đất Mũi Expressway.The section running through Cà Mau stretches nearly 103km, featuring four lanes and a designed speed of 100kph.The province is also speeding up work on the Hòn Khoai General Port project, which is expected to handle up to 20 million tonnes of cargo annually and accommodate vessels of up to 250,000DWT.Road infrastructure has expanded significantly in both scale and quality.The province currently has seven national highways with a combined length of 353km and 28 provincial roads stretching nearly 713km.In addition, the province has almost 1,825km of communal roads and more than 16,333km of rural transport routes.Authorities have completed site clearance and handed over all land needed for the dual use Hòn Khoai Port project and the more than 17km road connecting the mainland to Hòn Khoai Island.Other key transport routes include National Highway 1, National Highway 63,&nbsp;Quản Lộ-Phụng Hiệp Route, the Nam Sông Hậu Route, the Southern Coastal Corridor, the Hồ Chí Minh Road section through the province and the bypass route around Cà Mau City.In the aviation sector, Cà Mau Airport is currently classified as a level 3C civil airport combined with military operations and can accommodate ATR 72 aircraft.The province is coordinating with Airports Corporation of Vietnam to accelerate an upgrade project that will expand the airport to level 4C standards with a 2,400m runway and annual capacity of one million passengers.Once completed, the airport will be able to receive Code C aircraft such as the A320 and A321.Authorities expect the upgraded airport to resume operations by the end of this year.Dư Minh Hùng, director of the province Department of Construction, said public investment disbursement in the first four months of the year exceeded 20 per cent of the assigned plan, although progress remained below expectations.The province is targeting completion of several major projects in 2026, including the airport expansion, ring roads connecting expressways and coastal economic centres, the Hòa Bình 2 Bridge, Vàm Xáng Bridge, coastal roads and upgrades to eastern and western sea dykes.At the same time, Cà Mau is working with central ministries to accelerate implementation of the Cà Mau-Đất Mũi Expressway, transport links connecting Đất Mũi to Hòn Khoai Port, upgrades to National Highway 1 and National Highway 63, the Hồ Chí Minh Road and the Hà Tiên-Rạch Giá-Bạc Liêu Expressway.The province is also implementing a development scheme for the Hòn Khoai island cluster aimed at strengthening both economic growth and national

trillion (US$140 million).The province currently has 10,084 active enterprises with combined registered capital of VNĐ126.4&nbsp;trillion.Administrative reform and digital transformation efforts have also improved investment procedures, with 100 per cent of enterprise registration applications now submitted online.In April alone, Cà Mau attracted three new investment projects worth nearly VNĐ1.85 trillion ($71.3 million).In the first four months of 2026, the province licensed 16 new projects with total registered capital of VNĐ13.2&nbsp;trillion ($509 million), four more projects than in the same period last year.The province currently hosts 709 active investment projects with total registered capital of VNĐ341.8 trillion ($13.2&nbsp;billion), including 30 foreign direct investment projects worth a combined US$4.85 billion.Provincial leaders expect improved regional connectivity through road, sea and air transport infrastructure to create stronger momentum for investment attraction in the coming years.Growth targetAt a recent meeting on economic growth targets, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Lữ Quang Ngời urged departments and local authorities to focus on achieving double digit growth while continuing to remove obstacles facing businesses and production activities.To achieve the province’s 10 per cent growth target for 2026, Cà Mau is also proposing

Việt Nam’s logistics sector is undergoing a major transformation as companies respond to growing international demands for greener and more sustainable supply chains. — VNA/VNS Photo Hồng Đạt</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>HÀ NỘI —As global supply chains race towards greener and smarter operations, Việt Nam’s logistics sector is being pushed into one of the most significant transformations in its history, driven by mounting pressure for lower emissions, carbon transparency and sustainable trade.From replacing diesel fleets with LNG and electric vehicles to investing in energy-efficient warehouses and artificial intelligence (AI)-powered supply chain systems, companies are finding that green logistics is no longer a corporate slogan but a requirement for staying competitive in global trade networks.Industry experts said that the shift was increasingly tied to survival.“Green transition is now a mandatory requirement rather than a recommendation,” said Trần Ngọc Khánh, general director of OPL Logistics.However, progress remains constrained by infrastructure gaps and unclear planning, according to Khánh.Although Việt Nam has announced plans for logistics centres linked to seaports, inland container depots and international rail corridors, businesses still lack detailed frameworks identifying how companies can qualify to participate as pioneer investors.It is necessary to develop a complete planning mechanism with transparent information and clear priority criteria for Vietnamese firms.“That is an important factor that enables domestic enterprises to compete with foreign companies that are investing aggressively in logistics infrastructure in Việt Nam," Khánh said."Financing is another major obstacle as companies still face difficulties in accessing green finance. A clearer set of standards and eligibility criteria is needed to accelerate lending and investment."Meanwhile, digitalisation demands are escalating rapidly.Logistics management is evolving beyond basic information exchange toward AI-enabled real-time supply chain coordination, which will require shared data platforms and standardised digital systems capable of linking businesses, ports and customs authorities more efficiently.According to Nguyễn Lê Hằng, external affairs director at SLP Vietnam, modern green logistics can strengthen competitiveness through cost savings, speed and adaptability.The Government has identified reducing logistics costs as a pressing issue to enhance national competitiveness. Logistics costs in Việt Nam remained relatively high, estimated at roughly 13-15 per cent of GDP, significantly above those of developed economies.Investment in green logistics infrastructure combined with technology can optimise transportation, improve data use and streamline labour management to help businesses cut operational expenses while boosting productivity.Speed has also become equally critical.Global disruptions, from energy crises to shifting trade barriers, are rewarding companies capable of responding rapidly to changing conditions. Businesses adopting advanced logistics technologies are better positioned to forecast market volatility and maintain supply chain continuity.Adaptability, meanwhile, has become essential as multinational investors increasingly scrutinise environmental compliance across their supplier ecosystems.Hằng pointed out that international partners were now asking detailed questions about green certifications, renewable energy use, rooftop solar systems, waste management transparency and emissions reporting."Companies capable of meeting those standards are likely to gain easier access to major customers and attract investment," she said.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/21/502629_warehouse.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>A cold-storage warehouse in Tây Ninh Province. Logistics is increasingly being viewed as a strategic pillar of economic competitiveness rather than merely a support service. — VNA/VNS Photo Minh Phú</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Strategic shiftShifts in global trade and supply chains are also forcing Việt Nam to rethink its logistics development policies.Logistics is being reframed as a strategic pillar of economic competitiveness rather than merely a support service, according to Bùi Bá Nghiêm from the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Agency of Foreign Trade.The logistics development strategy for 2025-35 envisions annual sector growth of 12-15 per cent while reducing logistics costs to around 12-15 per cent of GDP.The strategy also targets outsourcing rates of 70-80 per cent for logistics services, digital adoption among at least 80 per cent of logistics firms and the development of five internationally competitive logistics centres.With its geographic position along major maritime and aviation routes, combined with one of the world’s broadest networks of free trade agreements, Việt Nam has significant opportunities to evolve from a transit point into a regional supply chain coordination hub.But achieving that ambition will require simultaneous reforms in infrastructure, regulation and administrative procedures.Nghiêm said that policy support should focus on three priorities, including meaningful digital transformation, green transition and stronger international integration.That includes encouraging the adoption of AI, IoT, cloud computing, blockchain and digital transport management systems while also promoting low-emissions transport, multimodal logistics and emissions tracking systems aligned with global ESG and carbon border adjustment standards.“The message to businesses is clear,” Nghiêm said. “Digital and green transformation are not merely compliance costs. They are passports to participate in higher-value global supply chains.”Việt Nam also needs to strengthen the international connectivity of its logistics companies, including through service standardisation, workforce development and closer links with shipping lines, seaports, foreign-invested manufacturers, exporters, e-commerce platforms and regional logistics networks.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/21/502631_langson.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Viettel Logistics Park in Lạng Sơn Province.

Detailed conversion plans have also been prepared for all 138 Petrolimex Sai Gon filling stations in HCM City to ensure implementation remains on schedule.Văn Tân Phụng, chairman of the Dong Nai Petroleum JSC, confirmed that the company’s network of 18 retail stations and more than 30 agents will also begin selling E10 from May 15.From May 15 to 30, the company will sell E10 alongside conventional petrol, he said.From June 1, mineral-based petrol will officially cease to be traded across the entire system in accordance with Government policy and the roadmap outlined in Circular No. 50 of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.A representative from PVOIL expressed confidence that the corporation’s E10 blending system is now largely complete, and projected total production capacity to reach four million cubic metres annually by the end of this year. Expanding production capacity and diversifying supply sources, the company said, will help stabilise the market and ensure national energy security.The Vietnam Automobile Manufacturers' Association (VAMA) stated that most vehicles in the market have already been designed to operate with E10 fuel. Similarly, the Vietnam Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (VAMM) confirmed that motorcycles produced by member companies are compatible with E10.&nbsp;<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/15/503267_5480780229410102_E10.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Biofuel not only offers lower prices but also contributes to reducing pollution and emissions in major urban centres. — Photo thanhnien.vn</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Trịnh Quang Khanh, general secretary of the Vietnam Petroleum Association, said member companies currently possess blending capacity of around 965,000 cubic metres per month, sufficient to meet nationwide demand for biofuel.However, he cautioned that biofuel petrol requires time for blending and cannot be supplied as immediately as conventional petrol. Without effective governance during the transition period, temporary supply bottlenecks could emerge despite the system’s adequate overall capacity.The association has therefore proposed raising the regulated business cost allowance for E10 petrol above that of mineral-based petrol to avoid undermining business efficiency for fuel distributors.While enterprises appear prepared for the transition, consumers are also showing growing interest in E10 ahead of its official nationwide implementation on June 1.Hoàng Hưng, a resident of Tăng Nhơn Phú ward in HCM City, said he had previously used E5 petrol and noticed little difference compared with conventional RON 95-III fuel.“If the station near my house sells E10 RON 95-III, I’ll use it immediately. I don’t really have any concerns. Convenience remains the most important factor when refuelling during daily travel,” he said.Ngọc An, a resident of Hòa Hưng ward, said her family will switch to biofuel once stations began selling it widely, though she believed lower prices will help consumers embrace environmentally friendly fuel more readily.Lê Trung Tình, chairman of the HCM City Passenger Automobile Transport Association, said biofuel not only offers lower prices but also contributes to reducing pollution and emissions in major urban centres.He noted that E10 has already been widely adopted in many countries, with some markets moving towards E15 or E20 blends to further improve environmental performance. However, he observed, public communication efforts remain insufficient, leaving many consumers, particularly owners of older vehicles, hesitant about the transition.Chairman of the Đồng Nai Petroleum Association Văn Tân Phụng described the Government’s shift from mineral-based petrol to biofuel as a major policy turning point tied both to the economy and Vietnam’s international commitments to green transition.Businesses and consumers naturally support this direction, he said, adding implementation should proceed alongside timely adjustments; if problems arise, they should be corrected within the first three months in order for this important policy to succeed.Associate Professor Dr Nguyễn Thường Lạng of the National Economics University stressed that E10 must maintain a meaningful price advantage over conventional petrol if it is to gain broad public acceptance, while businesses also need supportive policies to ensure rapid and effective implementation.He argued that Việt Nam is currently well positioned to accelerate the development of new energy sources such as wind power, solar energy, bioenergy, hydrogen and ammonia.However, for biofuels, particularly E10, to develop successfully, stronger and more coordinated policies are needed, especially pricing mechanisms capable of creating a sufficiently attractive gap between E10 and mineral-based petrol.“When the price difference becomes compelling enough, consumers will actively choose biofuel themselves, forming a new consumption habit and accelerating the overall transition,” he said.&nbsp;— VNA/VNS

From May 15, E10 biofuel will be available at nearly 1,000 PVOIL filling stations nationwide, around two weeks ahead of the national rollout schedule.

By March, Việt Nam ranked fourth among South Korea's largest importing countries, compared with seventh place in 2024.Việt Nam's major export items to South Korea include electronics, machinery components, textiles, agricultural products and processed consumer goods, reflecting a shift from labour-intensive exports towards more technology-oriented manufacturing.Experts said one of the most effective new approaches for Vietnamese firms is to leverage the extensive network of South Korean manufacturers already operating in Việt Nam.Major South Korean conglomerates including Samsung, LG, POSCO, Hyosung and Hyundai have built large-scale manufacturing ecosystems in the country, supported by hundreds of suppliers and satellite enterprises.Samsung Electronics and its affiliates alone are connected with around 1,000 partner companies in Việt Nam, while more than 500 Korean textile and apparel firms have established operations nationwide.Industry specialists said this ecosystem offers Vietnamese suppliers opportunities to participate in localisation programmes and gradually become part of South Korean corporations' regional and global procurement systems."South Korean companies in Việt Nam are seeking better cost efficiency and logistics optimisation, but many still struggle to identify reliable domestic suppliers," Bok Dug Gyou, deputy director of the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA), said.Rather than focusing solely on exporting finished products directly into South Korean retail markets, Vietnamese enterprises were advised to position themselves as suppliers of industrial materials, supporting-industry products and intermediate goods within South Korean-led manufacturing networks.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2026/5/15/503262_5480775093233407_kita.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Representatives at the meeting. — Photo courtesy of Vietrade</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>Trade representatives also highlighted the growing importance of data-driven market research and digital trade tools in accessing the Korean market.The representative of KITA encouraged Vietnamese companies to utilise South Korea's trade statistics systems, including K-Statistics and Korea Customs Service databases, to identify import demand trends, product categories and shifts in sourcing patterns before approaching buyers.Heon Woo also promoted the use of TradeKorea, a global B2B platform designed to connect exporters with Korean and international buyers through online product promotion and business matching services."South Korean buyers increasingly expect suppliers to provide detailed company information, certifications and quick responses through digital channels," he said.To strengthen competitiveness, Vietnamese firms were advised to improve compliance standards, product traceability and production flexibility while adopting a longer-term approach to relationship building in the South Korean market.Another strategy discussed at the event involved developing industrial value chain maps and company directories to improve transparency and help Korean investors identify potential Vietnamese suppliers more efficiently.The proposed value-chain mapping programme would categorise Vietnamese businesses according to the Vietnam Standard Industrial Classification (VSIC), business activities and tax registration information, creating a more structured supplier database for South Korean enterprises seeking local partnerships.South Korean trade and investment agencies also proposed expanding cooperation in technical workforce training, research and development, technology transfer and supporting-industry incentives to help Vietnamese firms move further up the value chain.The event additionally underscored opportunities in sectors such as electronics, automotive components, machinery, chemicals, distribution services and cultural content industries, where South Korean investment in Việt Nam has grown rapidly over the past decade.KITA Hà Nội office said it would continue supporting Vietnamese enterprises through buyer matching, networking consultations and business meeting coordination as companies from both countries seek to deepen trade and industrial ties. — BIZHUB/VNS
