3 GOLDEN KEYS TO BUSINESSES FOR SUSTAINABLE EXPORTS 

In today's world, as global awareness of environmental and social issues continues to grow, sustainable exports have become the key to unlocking the doors of the future. For businesses, focusing on these important factors is not only a responsibility but also an opportunity to build a positive image and expand global influence.

1.International Integration: Shaping the Future

Vietnam's agriculture sector is becoming an open production industry, thanks to increasing international integration. This creates significant opportunities for agricultural businesses but also presents challenges in terms of competition and ensuring product quality. To achieve stability and sustainability, businesses need to focus on understanding international market trends, complying with international standards and regulations, and developing global partnerships.

2. Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development: Ensuring Stability

The intermingling of industrial zones and urban areas with agricultural production regions can create significant pressures on resource supply and production space. Lacking cohesion in planning between agriculture, industry, and services reduces the efficiency and effectiveness of the agriculture sector. To ensure sustainability, it is crucial to enhance interaction and connectivity between different regions to maximize resource utilization and reduce waste. Synchronized planning and positive interaction between these sectors will guarantee balanced and sustainable development for the entire economy.

3. “Greening” Production: The Key to Meeting International Market Standards

Facing challenging commitments and regulations in Free Trade Agreement (FTA), particularly the EVFTA, Vietnamese agricultural businesses encounter significant challenges when entering international markets. In the context of the world economy gradually stabilizing after the pandemic, countries are imposing higher standards to protect domestic production and consumer health. Transitioning to green production is the crucial key to meeting the requirements of the international market. In 2022, the trend of high standards and demand for environmentally friendly and clean products is becoming increasingly important. For example, the EU market is undergoing a strong shift towards consuming goods that meet environmental and labor standards. This places high demands on production processes, food safety, and the origin of products. Businesses need to invest in research and advanced technology application, combined with sustainable production processes, to create green, clean products that meet environmental and food safety standards.

Focusing on these keys not only helps businesses survive in the international market but also contributes to the sustainable and positive development of Vietnam's agriculture sector. Businesses can export not only products but also positive values and images, working together to build a bright and sustainable future.
