Biotrade: Cultivating a greener future

Biotrade has been initiated and developed in Vietnam since 2012, and expanded to other countries in the Mekong region in 2016 with financial support from the Swiss government through the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). Through effective trade promotion and value chain services, Biotrade has become the core value of an ecosystem that enables exporting companies in Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia to develop sustainable supply chains and access potential export markets.

Biotrade products are available in 70 countries around the world. With 78 companies and 32 value chains, consumers in Europe, America, Asia and even the Mekong region have access to sustainable, environmentally friendly products.

Biotrade, from project to ecosystem, promises to be a leader for businesses and consumers for years and decades to come.
