Inaugural Speech: Increasing Foreign Demand for Vietnamese Agri-Food by Improving Food Safety for Market Access. A program is a food safety program supported by the NZAP that spans four countries: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam. The project's major purpose is to enhance food safety culture in these four countries by using a coordinated approach to knowledge and skill development. We are now in the middle of this 5-year initiative, and we have already provided multiple training programs on various FS-related issues, as well as conducted a number of seminars and events in the four nations.
