Vietnam steps up efforts to reduce agricultural carbon footprint
Vietnam is actively implementing its commitments from the COP26 Climate Change Conference, aiming towards the net zero goal by 2050 through its National Strategy for Green Growth. Following this general trend, the agricultural sector is also promoting the application of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards and investing in green technology, thereby enhancing competitiveness and deeper participation in global value chains.
Vietnamese agricultural products are currently exported to nearly 200 countries and territories. Vietnam is also participating in 17 free trade agreements, creating tariff advantages for many products. However, importing partners are increasingly demanding green production and emission reduction.
