Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to identify the status of food survice industry located in local area and urban supermarkets, and its procurement behavior within Vietnam. The study suggested that the development of the food service and retail industry has promoted the concentration and broadening of agricultural trade. On the other hand, agricultural cooperatives supplying fruits and vegetables showed the introduction of smart technology and collaboration with agricultural cooperatives in other production areas. In rural areas, the distance between production and consumption tends to widen, suggesting that more large-scale remote production areas may emerge in the future.
