This marks the first time that Vietnamese agricultural products have successfully met the global Good Agricultural Practices (GlobalGAP) standards and been exported to the EU market through the cross-border e-commerce platform.
The move is the result of a co-operation scheme devised between the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Viettel Post’s Voso trading floor, aiming to gradually develop cross-border e-commerce platforms for local businesses.
Dang Hoang Hai, director of the Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy, stated that Vietnam has now exported fruit and agricultural products to numerous European and Asian countries, including exports through a B2C e-commerce model via global e-commerce platform Amazon.
The successful export of Bac Giang lychees through Voso Global's cross-border e-commerce method is considered to be a remarkable step towards bringing high-quality fresh agricultural products to the EU market.
Sharing this viewpoint, Tran Trung Hung, general director of Viettel Post Joint Stock Corporation, said Voso is expected to become the leading e-commerce trading floor which introduces additional agricultural products via cross-border e-commerce platforms that can fully meet the demands of both foreign consumers and Vietnamese expatriates.
The Department of E-commerce and Digital Economy has supported Voso trading floor to create Vietnamese and English versions of their website.
