With the total investment capital of VND 5.42 billion, the flower alliance was founded voluntarily between the Đà Lạt Flower Forest Bio-technology Cooperation and 40 local flower growing households.
Each household will receive VND 40 million from the aid to build greenhouses and install modern irrigation systems.
Especially, during 18 months, flower growers will access to necessary knowledge of the Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGap) standards for better export.
The flower alliance is expected to be popularized across the province.
It is reported that the province is holding nearly 70% of the country’s total flower export earnings.
Việt Nam exports many kinds of flowers to 16 other countries and territories, such as the Japan, the US, the Netherlands, and Singapore.
