BUSINESS OPERATION:

1. IDEA: 

SharingFarming.Net starts from farmers, from everyday stories and forever:

And the story of 12 million farming households in Vietnam over the years is still there!

We, genuine peasants – who have attached a childhood time to land and gardens, have tasted all the peasants of “selling back to land, selling sun to sun” are who understood more than anyone else the farmer’s story.

We grew up, moved away from the village land to the city, then studied, then worked. Then fate pushed us, times pushed us back into the agricultural field!

We started more than a year ago with the story of building clean food distribution and affiliate marketing for Vietnamese people. A year is not much, but it also gives us valuable lessons and the value of the supply chain in agriculture.

At the same time, we burned an idea, a project about farmers. To this day, we are determined to realize it with an IT application, e-commerce application to support farmers, to the farmer’s story in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years. Vietnam will be different, different from many stories that I have ever told!

And that is why SharingFarming.Net is born!

2. ESTABLISHMENT:

When implementing an e-commerce floor in a commune, it will go through 3 phases:

• Creating the floor and attracting farmer households to participate; Practice skills in using the website to post information and images about yourself, land, fields, ponds, products and services of the farmer and update news.
• Connect and transfer agricultural materials, processes, techniques, technology
• Support branding, packaging products and services, and connect consumers

With a huge workload, we have a plan to utilize local human resources such as students, high school students, and youth union to coordinate and assist in training skills for farmers.

Regarding the core personnel of the project, in addition to the accumulated experience in technology, online marketing, e-commerce, and distribution, we plan to attend a seminar on Agricultural Branding in October 2017 to serve as additional foundation in the project development process.

The project is of great social significance, so we will have a master plan to take advantage of the support resources from the community, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations … mobilizing synergy, helping the project quickly reach farmers.
