Helping Vietnamese farmers to apply EurepGAP (European Retailer Produce Working Group – Good Agricultural Practices) standards in fruit and vegetables cultivation is a primary objective of Metro Cash & Carry Viet Nam Ltd.’s policy to assist Viet Nam’s farm product exports.
The retailer’s programme focuses on mango, dragon fruits, pomelo and litchi among other Vietnamese fruits for export that have yet to be certified with the standard.
The initiative is being carried out through a 400,000 EUR (547,600 USD) project, jointly sponsored by the German Organisation for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and Metro Cash & Carry Viet Nam
