Strengthening international cooperation in the period of 2025-2030
Within the framework of strengthening the capacity for risk assessment and food safety assurance in Vietnam, the National Institute for Food Control (NIFC) has established a close cooperative relationship with the Representative Office of the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) in Vietnam and the Safe Food for Growth Project (SAFEGRO). This cooperation focuses on enhancing scientific and technical capacity in conducting risk assessments for the Vietnam Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (VFSA).

The Safe Food for Growth (SAFEGRO) project, funded by the Government of Canada, seeks to improve access to safe, affordable, and competitive agricultural food for the Vietnamese people. The project aims not only to improve the well-being of both men and women but also to support the sustainable development of agricultural producers, processors, and traders. SAFEGRO is developed by Alinea International, an international consulting firm specializing in sustainable development, in close collaboration with the University of Guelph – one of the world's leading universities in agricultural research and food safety.
Signing ceremony of cooperation between NIFC and ILRI Vietnam
The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is a research center within the CGIAR network - a global research partnership working towards a sustainable food security future. ILRI's research is conducted in collaboration with 15 CGIAR research centers and close collaboration with hundreds of other partners, including national and regional research institutes, civil society organizations, academia, development organizations, and the private sector. This multidisciplinary collaboration enables ILRI to create comprehensive scientific solutions that contribute to the sustainable development of the livestock sector and food safety globally. Accordingly, ILRI's representative office in Vietnam was established to expand research and cooperation activities in East and Southeast Asia.
Potential international partners of NIFC/ VFSA
In addition, NIFC/ VFSA also expands cooperation with international organizations around the world such as the Federal Scientific Center for Medical and Preventive Health Risk Management Technologies (FBSI) in Russia, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This cooperation aims to build an effective and sustainable food safety management system through data sharing, technology transfer, and training programs.
