From 12 to 14 March 2025, HortEx Vietnam 2025 takes place at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre (SECC) in Ho Chi Minh City. This year, a total of 21 Dutch companies, along with a sustainably-designed Netherlands Pavilion, will present tailor-made, nature-based, and future-proof solutions for Vietnam’s horticulture.
In addition to
advancements in seeds and processing technology, this year will
see a stronger Dutch presence, with companies showcasing
advanced innovations in biological crop protection (biocontrol),
eco-friendly substrates, and efficient supply chain logistics.
With increasing chemical restrictions, growing environmental
concerns, and rising consumer demand for safer, more sustainable
products, biological crop protection is emerging as a natural
and sustainable approach to managing pests and diseases with
minimal environmental impact. On 13 March, a seminar titled
“Advancing Integrated Pest Management in Vietnam’s Horticulture
for a Sustainable Future” will take place, highlighting the
shift towards a proactive, practical approach for a safer, more
sustainable, and professional horticulture sector in
Vietnam.
Recognising the
young generation as future leaders in horticulture, the Empower
Youth4Food initiative will also join the Netherlands Pavilion at
HortEx 2025, hosting a seminar on 12 March titled “Seeds of
Change: Engaging and Empowering Youth in Vietnam’s
Horticulture.” This event (one of series of activities in EY4F
campaign) aims to inspire and equip young professionals with the
necessary tools to drive a resilient agricultural and
food-secure future.
“The
Netherlands has implemented various projects in Vietnam in
horticulture, aquaculture, livestock, etc. in key agricultural
areas. Regarding horticulture, numerous ongoing and upcoming
projects are being implemented, related to Integrated Pest
Management, Plant Breeders’ Rights, Water Management, etc.”,
said Mr. Daniël Stork, Consul General of the Netherlands in Ho
Chi Minh City. “The Netherlands has also actively participated
in HortEx since its first edition in 2019 as the Partner
Country. And this year we continued our strong presence in
HortEx Vietnam 2025, with 21 Dutch companies. These are strong
testaments to the commitment that: the Netherlands has been and
continues being a co-creating partner for Viet Nam with our
knowledge, expertise, technologies and products, for a safe and
more sustainable horticulture sector in Vietnam”.
