Abstract

This study aimed to provide a clear overview of the vegetable distribution system in Hanoi city which is dominated by traditional combined with the emergence of modern distribution channels, including supermarkets. The analysis was based on secondary data sources, a primary survey among 60 vegetable farmers, and in-depth interviews with other marketing system stakeholders including two agribusiness farms, four agricultural cooperatives, trade intermediaries (five collectors, three wholesalers, and three trading companies), and three supermarkets. Comparative and descriptive statistics were applied to get the full picture of vegetable distribution system, including traditional and modern channels. While traditional distribution channels involved various intermediaries, supermarket channels tended to be shorter due to direct producer-buyer relationships. In addition, while supermarket distribution channels focused on safe vegetables, including VietGAP and organic certified vegetables, there was no difference between safe and conventional vegetables in traditional channels. Therefore, producers may get 50% higher prices when supplying supermarkets compared to traditional channels. Recommended solutions to strengthen the distribution system of vegetables are to encourage the development of agricultural cooperatives, raise vertical integration, and develop sustainable cooperation among stakeholders in the supply chain.
越南传统与现代蔬菜流通渠道:以河内市为例
本研究旨在提供一个清晰的概述,在河内市蔬菜配送系统,以传统为主,并结合现代分销渠道,包括超市的出现。该分析基于二手数据来源、对60名蔬菜种植者的初步调查,以及对其他营销系统利益相关者的深度访谈,包括两个农业综合农场、四个农业合作社、贸易中介机构(五个收集者、三个批发商和三个贸易公司)和三个超市。采用比较统计和描述统计的方法,对蔬菜流通体系进行了全面的分析,包括传统渠道和现代渠道。传统的分销渠道涉及各种中间商,而超市渠道由于直接的生产者-购买者关系往往较短。此外,超市销售渠道以安全蔬菜为主,包括VietGAP和有机认证蔬菜,而传统渠道的安全蔬菜与常规蔬菜没有区别。因此,生产商在向超市供货时,价格可能比传统渠道高出50%。加强蔬菜流通系统的建议解决方案是鼓励农业合作社的发展,提高垂直整合,并在供应链中的利益相关者之间发展可持续合作。
