On December 11, 2020, Mr. Nguyen Quoc Bao, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Ben Tre Green Skin Pomelo Cooperative, attended the prestigious "National Cooperative Economic Forum 2020." Chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, the high-level forum served as a strategic platform for apex cooperative organizations to exchange operational insights and formulate macroeconomic policies for the collective economic sector.
Institutional Endorsement and Scalability
During the forum, Chairman Nguyen Quoc Bao engaged in bilateral knowledge sharing with leading cooperatives nationwide and granted exclusive press interviews. He highlighted the valuable strategic lessons derived from building the Ben Tre pomelo value chain and outlined the cooperative’s future directions designed to maximize economic returns for its member households.
The Ben Tre Green Skin Pomelo Cooperative stands out as one of the five large-scale cooperatives selected for comprehensive technical and financial backing by the Vietnam Cooperative Enterprise Development (VCED) project, funded by Global Affairs Canada. Thanks to this international framework, the cooperative has achieved groundbreaking development in institutional governance and supply chain optimization. Consequently, it was formally recognized at the forum as a benchmark "new-style cooperative model" recommended for nationwide replication by state authorities.
Product Exhibition and Market Validation
In the exhibition framework running parallel to the forum, the cooperative was honored to showcase its premium fresh produce at the pavilion reserved for the nation's most exemplary cooperatives.
The cooperative’s signature GlobalGAP-certified brand, "Pink Pomelo Girl" (Cô Gái Bưởi Hồng), was presented directly to senior government delegates and international observers. The product received exceptionally high praise for its uniform shape, crisp texture, and strict compliance with international phytosanitary standards. This successful showcase further solidifies the brand's positioning as a premium wholesale green skin pomelo Vietnam supplier ready to integrate into high-end global B2B agricultural supply chains.
