Tea and Good Advice At the Farm
July 20, 2016 is an auspicious date in the Vietnamese calendar and was selected as the inaugural date for the VTB Farmer Service Centre in Dong Hai, Bac Lieu Province.
This centre is a co-operation between VTB and VTB distributors in Dong Hai. Better service is one of the strategies VTB is implementing to differentiate it from other companies in the market. This service centre is part of the “Better Management Program” (BMP) initiated by VTB which will strengthen the image of the company as one of the leading ones in the aquaculture sector in Vietnam.
The centre serves as a gathering point for the farmers to share information and to enjoy the various services provided. The centre has a laboratory for testing water and shrimp specimens. Farmers can monitor their farms more effectively and take measures to improve their harvest. VTB staff is on hand to provide consultancy and recommendation after the testing.
Regular group meetings are held at the venue to provide the farmers with the latest information and development in aquaculture. At the same time after stocking the post larvae from the VTB Hatchery, they can seek advice on how to manage their farm better.
Farmers can also drop in to have some tea and refreshments whenever they are free. It is the establishment of human relationship that is important to VTB staff and the farmers.
