Vietnamese agriculture needs to build a brand, increase turnover
In the coming time, Vietnam is expected to take advantage of opportunities to develop the pepper processing industry. While investors in the EU move their processing plants to Vietnam to take advantage of cheap raw materials and labor to creating a driving force to promote pepper exports to EU markets.

However, the production linkages are not strong enough and the expansion of linkages still faces many difficulties due to capital problems and export output.
Besides, the branding on the individual scale of each business has been done. However, to have a unified image and build a common reputation for the industry at an international level, support resources are needed.
