Milestone Description

Supply chain analysis.

Deliverables

1. Analysis of at least two local markets and one supermarket supply chains

The report describes safe vegetable production in the Nghe An province in the context
of national vegetable production for Vietnam. It provides key background information
on the current status of safe vegetable production in the region and the potential for
this area to develop.

The project team has completed an analysis of vegetable supply in Vietnam. It covers
vegetable producers, the smallholder farmers which produce in the various regions.
There are sections on

• Vegetable Producers
• Collectors
• Traditional wholesalers
• Modern wholesalers
• Processor
• Traditional retailers
• Modern retailers
• Food catering sector

There is a detailed section on Vietnamese consumers and the a detailed analysis and
comparison of traditional versus modern vegetable retailing in Vietnam.


2. Description of crop specifications to meet market requirements for each
supply chain

The specification for the supply of watermelons and cabbage to modern retailers is

included. This is an example only, as individual retailers will require variations on
this, related to their own marketing strategies and market requirements.
There are significant regional differences in tastes in Vietnam, and also a strong
recognition among consumers of seasonality and the regions in which produce is
grown. This is quite different from Australia for example, where the expectation is
more often 12 months continuous supply.
This strong recognition of region and season provides an good foundation for
effective market definition and effective supply of these markets.
