In Vietnam, the first national Learning Alliance meeting was conducted on 30 Nov. 2009 in Ho Chi Minh City under the theme “A Road Map to Creating Business Models.” Thirty-one participants from the public and private sectors of all five regions were introduced to the concepts of business models and prioritized technologies for their regions, and they discussed the next steps for business model development. For northern and central Vietnam, business models for component technologies such as a dryer or a harvester were identified as entry points, whereas, for the Mekong Delta, with the more complex, export-oriented postharvest industry, integrated business models with several processing steps and linking farmers better to markets are seen as essential to improve the situation in their respective areas.
