Tien Giang’s cocoa certified to meet international standards

This certification program for agricultural products, launched in 2002, claims to be the largest coffee certifier in the world.

The certification is provided by the Swiss Association for International Cooperation, Helvetas in Vietnam, in co-ordination with the management board of the Tien Giang cocoa project.

By 2014, some 4,000 farming households in Tien Giang are scheduled to have benefited from the certification program.

The program is one of the agriculture projects being deployed by the organization in Vietnam.

Helvetas is non-governmental organization having operated in Vietnam since 1994 in the fields of agriculture, forestry and rural development.
