Safe Food for Growth (SAFEGRO) Project

Global Affairs Canada (GAC) is funding SAFEGRO, a Technical Assistance Project for improvement of the food safety management system of Vietnam. Key partners on this project include the Ministry of Agriculture Rural Development (MARD), the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT), the Ministry of Health (MOH), and other Vietnamese Academic and Research Institutions.

Alinea International, in partnership with the University of Guelph, is the Canadian Executing Agency (CEA) for this project. The CEA and stakeholder partners work with national and regional governments to improve food safety regulations, private sector suppliers to increase the competitiveness of Vietnamese food products domestically and internationally, and with consumers to improve demand for safe food in Vietnam.

The 5-year project (2020-2025) will work along the entire agro-food value chain by engaging and enhancing the capacities of three key target groups: the public sector (regulatory enabling), the private sector (supply side) and consumers (demand side).
