Agricultural marketing in Vietnam is not well developed in many aspects. Because of the small farming scale, it is difficult to apply mechanization and technological progresses. Standardization of quality and packaging of agricultural products is poor, and processing industries are not well developed. Rural infrastructure for agricultural marketing, such as roads, warehouses, ports, and retail-markets, is in poor condition. Market information for farmers is limited and market monitoring system which controls behaviors of traders is poorly developed. Quality control of agricultural products, foodstuff hygiene, and safety guarantee in the market are underprepared. In urban areas, wholesale markets are congested and not modernized, and agricultural products are not traded in a transparent manner. Considering Vietnam is situations and reflecting upon Korean experiences, it is suggested for the Vietnamese government to adopt the following policy programs: modernization of wholesale markets in large urban areas, construction of marketing facilities in rural areas, provision of grading, standardization, and safety inspection, and market information services, enactment of basic law in agricultural marketing, and nurturing marketing cooperatives.
