“…This is a lesson to learn that a long-term master plan to reduce the dependency on imported feed ingredients and the establishment of an accomplishable policy is inevitable. The agreement of free trade with the EU in 2019 has opened a corridor for Vietnam to export pork [108]. One guideline, namely, "development strategy of livestock production sector for the period of 2021-2030, prospect towards 2045" was issued in 2020 to stimulate livestock development at the rate of four to five percent per year during 2021-2025, and three to four percent per year during 2026-2030, focusing both local consumption and the export market [97].…”

Vietnam heavily relies on pork as its primary source of animal protein. Traditional farming methods, characterized by small-scale operations, dominate the industry. However, challenges such as rising feed costs, disease outbreaks, and market volatility are prompting many farmers to abandon their businesses. Recognizing the pivotal role of the swine sector in both economic development and nutrition, authorities must intervene to prevent its collapse. In developed nations, smart pig farming, utilizing technologies like sensors and cameras for data collection and real-time decision-making, has significantly improved health and productivity. These technologies can detect subtle indicators of animal well-being, enabling prompt intervention. This review aims to analyze the drivers of Vietnam’s swine farming, identify existing production system flaws, and explore innovative precision farming methods worldwide. Embracing precision farming promises to enhance Vietnam’s competitiveness in export markets and bolster consumer confidence. However, reliance solely on expensive foreign technologies may benefit large-scale farms, leaving smaller ones behind. Therefore, fostering local innovation and validating cost-effective solutions will be crucial for the sustainable growth of small- and medium-scale pig farming in Vietnam.

“…Literature on the subject provides research into the potential effects of the agreement with Vietnam, which had been published before the agreement was signed (Grumiller at al., 2018;Khoát & Cismas, 2019;Kikuchi at al., 2018;Kuźnar & Menkes, 2020;Nga at al., 2020;Trösteret al, 2019). There are also publications devoted to selected issues covered by the provisions of the agreement: benefits to the Vietnamese economy (Kikuchi at al., 2018); intellectual property or labour market (Ha at al., 2021;Huu, 2021;Nguyen & Do, 2020).…”

This work aims to show key provisions and importance of new-generation trade agreements made by the European Union on the example of the agreement with Vietnam. Empirical research centred around an agreement signed between the EU and Vietnam, which is the third new-generation trade agreement entered into by the EU with an Asian country, following an agreement with the Republic of Korea and Singapore. The agreement with Vietnam introduced liberalisation covering almost the entire mutual trade (goods), also providing for the liberalisation of services and eliminating certain non-tariff barriers. Due to a word limit applicable to this article, the research into the importance of the agreement to the EU-Vietnam trade relations was limited mainly to trade in goods. Having considered the fact that relatively too short period of time has elapsed since the entry into force of the agreement, it is not possible to comprehensively assess its importance to bilateral trade relations, especially in a long-term perspective. Such research should be continued in the future. In particular, this concerns research into the effects of liberalisation of mutual trade after the end of transition periods applicable to the elimination of barriers to trade – seven years for the European Union and ten years for Vietnam respectively. Following more than a year since the signature of the agreement, it can be claimed that the EU’s imports from Vietnam have increased considerably, which not only led to the greater negative balance of mutual trade, but also resulted in greater trade volumes for selected goods, and consequently, this may entail the elimination of certain barriers to mutual trade on the entry into force of the agreement. In this article, a descriptive and comparative method was employed, domestic and foreign literature sources were used and the provisions of the EU-Vietnam agreement and legal acts of the EU secondary legislation in the form of regulations were referred to.

“…EU and Vietnam signed the EVFTA on 30 June 2019 after several rounds of negotiations, with high hopes of creating mutual benefits for both sides (Nguyen 2014;Nga et al 2020). The EU-MUTRAP has committed an even larger portion of funding to aiding the preparation, negotiating and implementation of the EVFTA.…”

“…Admittedly, through the EU-MUTRAP, the EU supported Vietnam while extending market access for European exporters and investors. However, average tariffs have fallen substantially, in part thanks to the EVFTA negotiation achievements (Nga et al 2020). Therefore, we analyze the EU-MUTRAP project to better understand the trade policy intervention of EU AfT projects in Vietnam.…”

This paper explains the EU's Aid for Trade (AfT) and trade relations with Vietnam, and examines how EU AfT influences Vietnam's trade policy reform. It provides an analysis of EU AfT as a contested trade policy intervention by using the results of the EU-MUTRAP project in Vietnam. The finding is that EU AfT can interfere as an “external impacts” on Vietnam's trade policy reform. Based on the priorities of EU trade policies towards Vietnam, the EU uses AfT projects to support and change the Vietnamese trade environment. The paper partially proves the contribution of the EU-MUTRAP on the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement negotiations and implementation.
