Digitalization is becoming increasingly important in businesses to enhance flexibility and efficiency across the entire value chain. The pace of digital adoption, transformation, and delivery in recent years has accelerated exponentially. More and more businesses are applying digital practices and technology in their operations. On April 17, 2023, the Vietnamese government issued the first-ever Personal Data Protection Decree (PDPD). This document consolidates and harmonizes Vietnam's various data protection laws, with the potential to align them with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu), etc. standards.Coming into force on July 1, 2023, the PDPD applies to both domestic and foreign individuals/entities that are directly or indirectly involved in personal data processing activities in Vietnam. Therefore, complying with legal regulations and data protection is not only minor risk management for businesses, but it also has significant implications for finance, legal issues, and taxes.In today's podcast episode, our host Marko Walde, Chief Representative of the AHK in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos is delighted to welcome two experts to delve into this topic and discuss some helpful hints for businesses regarding the new decree:·       Johannes Klausch, Partner, LUTHER Law Vietnam·       Nguyen Minh Thoai, CEO, DIGI-TEXX Vietnam*** AHK Vietnam is your reliable partner in rolling out a strategic investment in Vietnam as well as developing your business endeavors within the Vietnamese market.

Vietnam's geographical location near the equator blesses it with both a tropical climate and a temperate climate zone. These climate conditions provide a year-round growing season for a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. 2023 can be considered a fruitful year for Vietnam's fruit and vegetable export market. Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development showed that the export turnover was estimated at $3.45 billion in the first eight months of this year, an increase of 57.5 percent over the same period last year. The export of vegetables and fruits from Vietnam to Europe has shown significant growth compared to the same period last year. The potential for exporting vegetables and fruits to Europe remains substantial. On the other side, the Vietnamese vegetable and fruit industry faces fierce competition with both the EU internal market and export markets with large fruit and vegetable processing industries, such as Peru, Morocco, South Africa, Mexico, China, and India. However, we have successfully leveraged the opportunities brought about by the EVFTA, initially exploring, and succeeding in markets with large import volumes such as France and Germany. These are highly encouraging successes.Let's join our guests in this podcast episode to explore the potential of this market, its challenges, and opportunities, as well as solutions to enhance trade between the two countries in the fresh fruit and vegetable sector, a highly promising industry:Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, General Secretary of Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VINAFRUIT)Ms. Helly Nguyen, Head of International Sales Department, ANTFARM - Vietnamese exporters to the European marketMr. Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and LaosModerator: Ms. Mai Le, AHK Vietnam***AHK Vietnam is the Representative in Vietnam for Messe Berlin, where the leading trade show for fresh produce – Fruit Logistica 2024 – will take place from 7-9 February 2024.
