Vietnam has a great potential and plays an important role in agricultural production In 2003, Vietnam exported US$43 million of high value fruit to high-income countries and imported US$14 million of fruit and vegetables Vietnam is experiencing difficulties in competing with other Asian nations in export markets and its own domestic market, especially with China and Thailand This suggests that Vietnam’s horticultural industries require substantial development to be globally competitive Vietnamese consumers are demanding safer and higher quality fruit This project has identified key pre-and post-harvest technology gaps that reduce product quality, safety and consistency Targeted training programs are focusing on the total supply chain and are providing benefits by helping to implement quality management systems and GAP systems at the village level providing greater employment for the farming community This project embraces the five CARD strategies for rural development; and in particular; strategies to increase production and competitiveness of agricultural systems; reduce poverty and vulnerability, and increase stakeholder participation whilst ensuring sustainability Executive Summary This is the completion report for the Collaboration for Agriculture; and Rural Development (CARD) Project 050/04 VIE Improvement of export and domestic markets for Vietnamese fruit through improved post-harvest and supply chain management A strategic analysis of the mango and pomelo supply/value chains operating in southern Vietnam was completed in April 2006 by SIAEP and SOFRI staff, farmers, collectors, traders, wholesalers, exporters and retailers This strategic analysis process, in manual form was provided to both SIAEP and SOFRI staff to use for development of future fruit and vegetable supply/value chains Strategic plans workshops were also held in villages with mango and pomelo growers and with collectors to discuss supply chain maps, the SWOT analysis and strategic plans developed at previous workshops and to adjust and obtain input from a wider cross section of farmer/growers Action plans were also developed based on the agreed vision, goals and future direction for both the mango and pomelo CARD project participants These action plans aligned with the CARD Project objectives and represented the project activities Easy and simple to understand supply/value chain maps were constructed to enable supply chain stakeholders to identify their participation in these chains This also enabled participants to identify where they added value to the chain without being fearful of criticism This consultative and participatory action learning approach is designed to empower the rural poor in the decision making processes Two reports were produced on investigations into mango and pomelo supply chains in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam These reports provided information on consumer preferences, retailer, wholesaler, collector/trader and farmer practices and technologies used in Vietnam Major findings indicated that: • Traditional mango and pomelo supply/value chains in Vietnam are long in terms of number of participants in the chain and the number of times the product is handled by the participants • Care and attention to sorting grading, packaging, handling procedures and stacking methods are not practiced to the levels to provide consumers with as quality assured safe product • High quality, extra or super class fruit, class fruit are marketed with stalks attached This is done to reassure customers that the fruit they are purchasing fresh fruit These stalks often break off during handling and transport and also draw moisture from the fruit • Farmers, collectors, traders, packaging agents and wholesalers estimates of damage fruit is from fro to 2%, but surveys conducted found it is greater then 20% • Terms of trade and verbally agreement with collectors and farmers needs to be quickly overhauled and a new system put in place that protects the wholesaler, collector and farmer • Even though these supply chain appear to be models of efficiency, the inability of wholesalers and exporters further down the chain to meet price and quality demands points to a significant problems New supply chains were developed with Metro Cash & Carry and various high value retailers in TP Ho Chi Minh City for mango and pomelo This project was not involved in the business to business negotiations but assisted in developing good agricultural practices (GAP) and quality assurance systems For example:• Keeping mango fruit cool along the supply chain in the high humidity and high temperature conditions in Southern Vietnam significantly reduces fruit weight loss by 35% to 61% and extended shelf life by a minimum of at least days • A combination of new fibreboard packaging plus hot water dip treatment and plastic crate packaging plus hot water dip treatment plus cooling the fruit along the supply chain significantly reduced disease infestation by 55% to 93% Implementation of GAP, mango growers with high levels of management practices and high input levels obtain a profit of VND 15,105,000 per 1000m2, 2.1 times greater than growers with mid level management practices and mid level inputs and 3.7 times greater than grower with low level management practices and inputs Bagged fruit were sprayed once with pesticides (before bagging), while non-bagged fruit were sprayed a further seven times This bagging method provided to consumers a chemical free, safe product An 87% reduction pesticides costs was achieved using fruit bagging A 10% to 20% increase in fruit quality achieved using fruit bags across all fruit grades Pomelo Growers with high levels of management practices and high input levels obtain a profit of VND 3,576,000 per 1000m2, 2.4 times greater than growers with mid level management practices and mid level inputs and 3.9 times greater than grower with low level management practices and inputs Fifty nine workshops were conducted during this project, to train 572 farmers and 79 collectors and wholesalers In-field, participatory action learning workshops provided a better understanding of how improvements to the mango and pomelo supply/value chains operating in Southern Vietnam Forty two manuals and workbooks were developed and used in the CARD Project and 22 reports were produced covering:• Investigation into the mango and pomelo supply/value chains operating in Southern Vietnam • Strategic Plans and supply/value chain maps for pomelo and mango • Mango post harvest physiology manual and quality assurance manuals for mango and pomelo • Maintaining fruit quality and increasing shelf life of mango and pomelo • Survey of mango fruit quality offered for sale in Northern Vietnam • Economic evaluations of the mango supply/value chains and orchard practices for mango and pomelo In 2008, the Cat Hoa Loc Mango Group sold about 700kg to tonne of Cat Hoa Loc grade fruit to Metro Cash & Carry Vietnam Ltd., as a trial shipment using a new developed supply/value chain This fruit sold from 55,000 to 75,000 VND/kg This is about double to triple the normal price At the end of the CARD Project, a contract was signed with Metro Cash & Carry to supply tonne of fruit In the My Hoa Pomelo Group pack-house, GAP processes were implemented SIAEP staff helped the pomelo group with developing, designing and implementing the processing line to facilitate the sorting grading and packaging of pomelo fruit They have now signed a contract with Metro Cash and Carry for 34 tonnes of pomelo They also supply supermarkets in Hanoi with about 18 tonnes of pomelo They have been trailing fruit vacuum bagging to reduce moisture loss and extend the fruit shelf life They have also trailed Citra Shine Wax This CARD Project has achieved all of its activities and outputs I would like to thank CARD for their support and funding for this project It has not been an easy project to implement and run due to the loss of staff from the various Vietnamese and Australian institutes and lost time due to unforeseen health problems of the Australian team members However, I would like to personally thank Director Duc SIAEP and Dr Chau SOFRI for their friendship and support for the Australian team members and myself They and their staff have availed themselves to the highest level possible to assist us and their own farmers and CARD project participants implement this project Introduction & Background Fruit and Vegetable crops are highly lucrative compared to staple crops Horticultural produce has high value-added and income generation potential when compared to livestock and grain production Horticulture is highly attractive, especially for small scale farmers, and has a comparative advantage, particularly where land holdings are small, labour is abundant and markets reasonable accessible (Weinberger and Lumpkin, 2006) This situation is particularly true in Mekong Delta and Central South Coast Province of Khanh Hoa, Vietnam Ford et al., (2003), suggested the competitiveness of Vietnamese fruit industries were failing due to poor, unstable product quality, no quality standards, poor post harvest technologies and pre-harvest practices, lack of group co-operative marketing structures and little information about supply chains, prices and customers needs This project will address constraints by engaging with key Vietnamese stakeholders from research institutes (SIAEP and SOFRI) and local farmers in the mango and pomelo industries in Southern Vietnam This project will taken account of the total supply chain network This project focused on where significant benefits are to be gained in the pre- harvest, post-harvest and marketing sectors This project will alleviate weaknesses in the supply chain and improve the capacity of stakeholders involved in pre-and post-harvest technologies affecting product quality consistency Highly–specialised, targeted training programs, appropriate for institutions and industry stakeholders will be provided in supply chain management and planning, pre- and post-harvest technologies At the local village and district level, cluster development of farmer/grower groups should ensure better on-farm prices This will increase power to these farmers which will benefit all members of the supply/value chain, rather than the present powers brokers in the chain Farm incomes will therefore increase and result in better standard of living for rural families In addition, if quality management systems are implemented at the village and district level through more appropriate fruit quality standards, packaging and grading systems should increase returns resulting in greater employment at the local village level The flow on effects of this will benefit the poor in the rural areas, and specifically help provide more jobs for rural women Progress to Date Implementation Highlights The project has more than filled its component objectives by focusing on the total supply chain networks and market sectors This was achieved through engaging key Vietnamese stakeholders (research institutes, SIAEP and SOFRI) and local farmer groups (Cat Hoa Loc Mango Cooperative and My Hoa Pomelo Cooperatives) and local farmers in the provinces of Tien Giang, Dong Thap, Long An, Ben Tre, Tra Vin, Vin Long, Can Tho in the Mekong Delta of and Khanh Hoa in Southern Vietnam This CARD project made linkages with the AADCP project and ASEAN Training workshops on Post-harvest Technologies and the Dragon Fruit project Project training of SIAEP and SOFRI staff and material supplied has also assisted SIAEP in the delivery of training workshops for Metro Cash and Carry in their joint project with GTZ and the Ministry of Commerce in Vietnam Materials supplied and training carried out by this CARD project has also assisted SIAEP staff in the ADB project and workshops to assist farmers in developing new agricultural supply chains to supply Metro Cash an Carry stores with produce that meet their specifications, particularly on product quality and food safety This project has provided training for more than 572 farmers and 79 collectors and wholesalers Workshop evaluations have indicated that over 90% of farmers were very satisfied with material supplied and workshops conducted The major components of this project were: • • • • • • • Selection of fruit crops:- mango and pomelo were selected as the highest priority crops in Southern Vietnam A strategic analysis of the mango and pomelo horticultural industries supply chains in Vietnam Mango was the main fruit selected for intensive investigation for supply chain practices, traditional pre- and postharvest technologies used in Vietnam The effects on fruit quality along the supply chain was the chief focus of this project with information obtained from the mango supply chain adapted to the pomelo supply chain Mapping and identifying strengths and weaknesses in existing domestic and export chains for mango and pomelo, with particular emphasis on determining consumer preferences and needs, and feeding results back to farmers Selection of the key stakeholders and identification of key pre-and postharvest and cultural constraints Developing improved export and domestic supply chains for mango and pomelo Setting up of new supply chains, improved farmer groups/organisations for marketing mango and pomelo Achievements and outputs of this CARD project components Strategic Analysis Process A strategic analysis of the mango and pomelo supply/value chains operating in southern Vietnam was completed in April 2006 by SIAEP and SOFRI staff, farmers, collectors, traders, wholesalers, exporters and retailers This strategic analysis process, in manual form was provided to both SIAEP and SOFRI staff to use for development of future fruit and vegetable supply/value chains Strategic planning workshops were also held in villages with mango and pomelo growers and with collectors to discuss supply chain maps, the SWOT analysis and strategic plans developed at previous workshops and to adjust and obtain input from a wider cross section of farmer/growers This consultative and participatory action learning approach is designed to empower the rural poor in the decision making processes Investigations into supply value chain operating in Southern Vietnam Two reports were produced on investigations into mango and pomelo supply chains in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam These reports provided information on consumer preferences, retailer, wholesaler, collector/trader and farmer practices and technologies used in Vietnam and provided to the CARD Project Management Unit in the Milestone Report Traditional mango and pomelo supply/value chains in Vietnam are long in terms of number of participants in the chain and the number of times the product is handled by the participants For pomelo, almost 80% of the fruit is moved from farms by boat to the collectors to local wholesale markets Care and attention to sorting grading, packaging, handling procedures and stacking methods are not practiced High quality, extra or super class fruit, class fruit are marketed with stalks attached This is done to reassure customers that the fruit they are purchasing fresh pomelo These stalks often break off during handling and transport and also draw moisture from the fruit Farmers, collectors, traders, packaging agents and wholesalers estimates of damage fruit is from to 2%, but surveys found it is often above 10% Supermarkets are now setting new procurement practices and supply systems which focus on reducing costs and improving quality to enable them to sell at lower prices This will allow them to win over consumers and obtain a larger share of their target market The ability of many small farmers, collectors and wholesalers in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam to meet safe food levels and quality demands of domestic and overseas supermarkets can only be obtained through investing in improvements in their production and supply chain practices Implementation of new production and post–harvest practices and the modernisation of these supply chains may prevent some small farmers from participating Many small farmers will have to develop risk minimisation strategies, such as forming groups, implementing new crop management and production systems, improved packaging, more efficient transport methods and handling practices to provide a safe, competitively priced quality product Understanding the supply chain and where to make changes is essential if farmers and chain participants are to benefit Terms of trade is usually by verbal agreement between collectors, farmers, wholesalers and retailers This needs to be quickly overhauled and a new system put in place that protects the retailer, wholesaler, collector and farmer Even though this supply chain appears to be a model of efficiency, the inability of wholesalers and exporters further down the chain to meet price and quality demands points to a significant problem Also, risks faced by supply chain participants are significant For example one collector/wholesaler/exporter is owed a significant amount of money, some 49 million VND after exporting mango fruit Their options are extremely limited in options to receive payment for fruit all ready supplied Many collectors, wholesalers, traders, transporters and middlemen act in an opportunistic way in order to minimise the risk of opportunism, resulting in less-than-desirable supply chains Weaknesses in the Vietnamese legal system fail to address oblivious and dubious transactions, adding to less than desirable supply chains operating in Southern Vietnam Supply/Value Chain Maps Easy and simple to understand supply/value chain maps were constructed to enable supply chain stakeholders to identify their participation in these chains This also enabled participants to identify where they added value to the chain without being fearful of criticism During this phase in the project, identification of strengths and weakness of each chain was undertaken without participants losing face Prior to developing supply chain maps for mango and pomelo farmers in the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam, many chain participants felt that they had an excellent product, but data collected from supply chain sampling revealed losses of up to 40% for mango and 30% for pomelo This mapping revealed that losses were due to incorrect handling procedures, no cool chain, poor packaging, inadequate transport and stacking systems employed This indicated a lack of infrastructure, knowledge and skills along the supply/value chain Introduce project and plans to farmers and local authorities (including Peoples Committee of Province and District and officials of DARD) in each province Participatory planning Set up a farmer consultative/advisory group, which meets every three months • Tien Giang Province o • Activity Conduct strategic SWOT analysis for mango and pomelo Similar to VNCI approach Commence

Group exported fruit to Holland and to domestic markets in Hanoi and HO Chi Minh This activity has been completed and information exchanged with Emu exports Viet Nam on marketing requirements and information Vietnamese Trader contacted and discussion held in April-May 2006 With China joining the WTO and the implementation of new quarantine restrictions, processes and movement of product into China has made this section of the project extremely difficult to achieve due to no clear defined protocols However we stopped out travel to China and concentrated our efforts into developing new supply/value chains for mango in Ho Chi Minh City to Metro Chas and Carry and high value retailers Copies of books in Vietnamese developed Development of manuals were undertaken Development of new improved supply chains completed for Mango and pomelo farmers and visits to potential clients and contacts in high value markets areas of HCMC 47 farmers, translated into Vietnamese Also mango
