On April 9, 2019, Nearly 50 delegates from enterprises and coconut products businesses in Ben Tre province attended the seminar "Bringing e-commerce to the countryside – Ben Tre Coconut Village online" at the hall of the Provincial Department Lazada.vn of Industry and Trade.

 

Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung, Vice Chairman of Vietnam E-Commerce Association – VECOM said that "An unsymillable principle in the Vietnamese market is "to sell goods that must be marketed". However, in reality, farmers or small business households in rural areas still lack a lot of information and skills necessary to bring their products to market. So how can the specialty products of rural craft villages reach consumers throughout the country in the fastest way? E-commerce will help shorten this path, help trade villages expand their business, save marketing costs, and increase product value."

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Dung, Vice Chairman of VECOM spoke

Mr. Vu Quoc Tuan, Director of External Relations lazada Vietnam shared that "Ben Tre Online Coconut Village Workshop is one of the activities within the framework of the project "Online Specialty Craft Village"– a new project implemented by Lazada Vietnam, to contribute to building a comprehensive and sustainable e-commerce ecosystem by 2030. Through specific activities, Lazada is committed to supporting 8 million small and medium-sized enterprises, serving 300 million customers, and creating 20 million job opportunities across the region. Ben Tre is the first locality to launch the project with the program "Ben Tre Coconut Village Day" scheduled to take place at the end of April 2019.
