ADAMA Vietnam Co., Ltd (ADAMA) has recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Pepsico Vietnam Food Co., Ltd (Pepsico Vietnam) to bring scientific and technical solutions and high technology from Israel in sustainable potato production, as well as boosting domestic production of potatoes while raising its commercial value for farmers.
According to this agreement, ADAMA and Pepsico Vietnam will strengthen the activities of transferring advanced scientific and technical solutions to technicians and farmers in the area of the potato value chain in Vietnam, especially in important raw material areas such as Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Lam Dong.
Potato is a food crop with high economic and nutritional value, however it is difficult to grow in certain areas due to its susceptibility to weather and harmful pests.
Currently, the demand for potatoes in the domestic food industry is very large but domestic production only meets about 30-40% with the rest imported from several countries, according to the International Potato Center in Vietnam.
ADAMA representative Mr. Pham Van Loi said, “This is an opportunity for ADAMA to bring potato farmers across the country with agricultural solutions and high technology from Israel, helping them feel secure to cultivate and enrich themselves on their own land.”
