CAN THO – Since late 2010, Fresh Studio’s aquaculture and fisheries team has worked hard to assist a client in developing the first professional fresh fish chain of Vietnam.
The Vietnamese aquaculture sector currently focuses on deep frozen export chains for pangasius and shrimp. This chain project focuses on over 50 fish species already popular in the domestic market. The domestic chain consists of only fresh fish, which requires strict product quality control.
During large fish farmer information sessions, widely covered by Vietnamese television and newspapers, the targets for the new fish sourcing system were presented. An overwhelming number of farmers registered to join the new program. Over 250 fish farmers have since been trained in the required product specifications, and to comply with aquaculture production standards. The first supply of fresh fish, through a newly developed professional fresh fish processing facility, will begin soon.Also interesting to read:

DALAT – After hard work by our North Vietnam vegetable sourcing project team, the vegetable supply from smallholders in both the mountains in North Vietnam as well from the Red River lowlands has begun.
Over 18 different vegetables are being produced under a private GAP standard by one of Fresh Studio’s clients. These vegetables also comply with the Vietnamese national safe vegetable certificates. Besides being a safe product, vegetables from kohlrabi to lettuce (such as lollo green, lollo red, romaine, cucumber, radish, and kang kong) are of a much higher standard than those available before. Soon, a professional vegetable packing house will be launched, after which sourcing volumes and numbers of farmers involved can rapidly increase.

HCMC – A scientist and his wife are helping to put Vietnam agriculture on the world map by raising standards through innovative methods.
If someone asked you to list a few brandnames of Vietnamese fruits or vegetables, how would you respond?
When I met Dutchman Siebe van Wijk recently in HCM City, he posed that question. Embarrassed, I conceded that I could not name one single brand, although I knew my mother could cite a few.
“No worries,” replied van Wijk, founder and general director of Fresh Studio, a consultancy company that has worked to develop value chains for Vietnamese agricultural products since 2006.

HANOI – Rapid economic development, urbanisation and rising income levels, in Vietnam offer potential for pro-poor development, by creating new market opportunities for producers, traders and retailers. This article describes the process of value chain development, which involves all actors in the broad chain of avocado.
The project
Dak Lak, a province in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, is an important coffee producing area. Many poor ethnic minorities are engaged in coffee farming. Their dependence on coffee cultivation only at a time of decreasing coffee prices made income diversification an urgent necessity. Dak Lak area is also known for producing the best quality avocados in Vietnam. Because avocado trees are grown within coffee plantations to provide shade, and because demand for avocado was growing, avocado was defined as a potential crop to diversify the coffee dominated agricultural sector in Dak Lak. Avocado was also considered because of its high nutritional value and its potential to improve the poor-quality diet of the local rural communities, and of children in particular.
This product choice was made in cooperation with local research institutions and local farmers. The aim of the intervention plan was to create a professional value chain for avocado, in which the different chain actors cooperate to supply consistent quality avocados to urban sales channels across Vietnam. The objectives were to: (1) create a professional avocado chain; (2) increase awareness of and demand for avocado (avocado is relatively unknown in Vietnam and consumers are not familiar with its nutritional values and its uses); (3) develop a high quality avocado brand.
