(Dân trí) – As the company with the largest flower production globally, KIFA aims to expand cooperation with Vietnam in research on flower varieties, cultivation, consumption, and wealth creation from flowers. This proposal was shared by Mr. Tào Vinh Căn, Chairman of Kunming International Flower Trade and Auction Center Co., Ltd (KIFA), during his meeting with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chính on November 6, in Kunming, Yunnan Province, China.
With over 20 years of development, KIFA’s auction transaction scale is the largest in Asia and second globally, with the world’s leading flower production. The company currently offers more than 2,000 types of flowers, spanning over 40 varieties, which are auctioned to major cities across China and exported to more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, including Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong (China), Russia, and Australia.
KIFA has been recognized as one of the top national enterprises in agricultural industrialization and is a model company in applying and innovating supply chains. It is also a national model for agricultural and rural information technology and a key innovation project of the Ministry of Commerce of China.
After two visits to Vietnam, KIFA’s Chairman noted that the country has significant potential to develop a modern flower industry, with a suitable climate. He emphasized that there is substantial space for cooperation between Vietnam and Yunnan and proposed collaboration in flower breeding, cultivation, consumption, and the development of flower trading platforms for international markets, forming a supply chain and ecosystem for the flower and ornamental plant industry.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chính encouraged KIFA to expand investment in high-tech agriculture, especially in the flower and ornamental plant sector. He emphasized that these are fields that Vietnam is encouraging and calling for investment in. “Vietnam has a large demand with a market of 100 million people, and a rapidly growing middle class. As society develops, the demand for flowers rises, and the quality expectations continue to increase,” said the Prime Minister.
He also agreed with KIFA’s proposal to cooperate on flower breeding, zoning for cultivation, production, processing, and business, contributing to the development of the flower market, the establishment of flower trading platforms for both domestic and international export markets, and wealth creation from flowers.
The Prime Minister highlighted that Vietnam, particularly the northern regions, has many advantages for developing the flower and ornamental plant industry, with suitable land and climate for many flower species. He encouraged KIFA to proactively cooperate and propose specific cooperation projects to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and relevant localities, implementing support programs and partnerships with farmers to build mutually beneficial relationships.
