Many workers hustled to make products at Anh Dao Cooperative in Da Lat City At the fruit and vegetable processing zone on Xo Viet Nghe Tinh Street of Anh Dao Cooperative in Da Lat City, many workers hustled to make products. According to the process, agricultural products are harvested from the gardener, then they are brought directly to the warehouse to be classified according to each product that has been ordered in advance. Each product will have its own way of preliminary processing and packaging, but the common point is that they are all classified from the source so that when they go to the place of consumption, they will limit the need to select products and limit the source of agricultural waste. Ms. Uyen of Anh Dao Cooperative said that cabbage vegetables need to be wrapped in paper to avoid being crushed and damaged when they are transported to supermarkets in Ho Chi Minh City.

Derivatives continue to distort stock market despite SSC’s intervention
Before the morning trading session, investors received positive information from the meeting of the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) last week. Specifically, at a meeting with 23 securities companies and market members, the SSC asked the stock exchanges to disclose information about the proprietary trading of securities companies. Besides, the SSC also directed the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD) to adjust the final settlement price of the VN30 index futures contract to be the average price of the last 30 minutes of the expiration date instead of the closing price of the ATC session to avoid the impact on the underlying market. At the same time, the SSC also directed to put forward measures to soon raise Vietnam's stock market from frontier to emerging market as soon as possible.

Young Vietnamese woman endeavors to preserve Dao culture
Thinking back to 2018, Ly May Hanh said that every time a passenger coach passed by, around 20-30 people of the Dao, an ethnic group in Vietnam, rushed forward, with some offering brocade and others selling medicinal plants to the visitors. Some days, they could not sell anything. When visitors are nearing Ta Phin bamboo forest, a tourist hotspot in Ta Phin Hamlet, Sa Pa Town in northern Lao Cai Province, a cool breeze comes up as a welcome relief to them especially after they have had to cross a bumpy trail with rocky mountains on one side and a deep abyss on the other. The sounds of forest birds twittering and leaves rustling mingle with admiring voices of the young visitors. Looking at Hanh's smiling face when she tells her stories about the bamboo forest and the culture of the Dao people in Ta Phin, little does one know that this 22-year-old woman used to be a tour guide and interpreter for owners of fruit shops in Lao Cai City, the provincial capital.

So we decided to borrow money and rent land to build the farm. However, after the first year and gaining some profit, we have suffered losses since then. To cut the losses, we stopped receiving chickens from the company for the last six months and have decided to abandon the farm,” said Cuc. Cuc said the farm was losing $8,700 and land rent for every farrow of chicken. While … [Read more...] about Japfa policy change irks chicken farmers
Vietnam poised for the next level of social commerce via innovative startups
Thao Nguyen - Senior investment manager Ascend Vietnam Ventures Social commerce, a subset of e-commerce that refers to the process of buying and selling goods or services directly within social media platforms, is not new. In Vietnam, long before traditional e-commerce established a foothold with tech-savvy consumers, such activities largely took place on major social media platforms. Serving both big-city shoppers and the majority of the population who live outside of core urban centres, social commerce made up about 65 per cent of Vietnam’s $22 billion e-commerce in 2020, presenting the highest rate in Southeast Asia, according to Bain & Co. Within the last two years, we have been seeing a new wave of startups emerging in this sector and beginning to harness the untapped potential of Vietnam’s social commerce playing field. Some of those have attracted almost $14 million in funding in Q1 this year. Compared to the regional rate of 44 per cent, Vietnam’s social commerce … [Read more...] about Vietnam poised for the next level of social commerce via innovative startups
