The Korean Livestock Processing Association and Korean enterprises have had a working trip to Vietnam to discuss strengthening cooperation and personnel exchange between the two countries in the food processing industry. This is an important opportunity to promote the development of this industry in both countries.
The Vietnamese food processing industry currently accounts for about 19.1% of the total proportion of the processing and manufacturing industry, showing strong development potential.
With a rich source of agricultural and seafood ingredients, along with increasing concern for food safety from consumers, the Vietnamese food processing industry opens up many job opportunities, especially for skilled workers.
Mr. Bae Kyung Hyun, Head of the Korean Livestock Processing Association, shared: "Vietnamese workers in Korea, especially in the food processing industry, always stand out with their high skills and diligence. We are eager to cooperate and train human resources with Vietnam to solve our labor shortage problem."
South Korea is currently facing a serious labor shortage due to population restructuring, especially the decline in the young workforce. Food processing companies in Korea, including the meat and poultry processing industry, are facing difficulties in recruiting highly skilled workers.
Vietnam currently has nearly 20 universities and colleges specializing in food processing technology. This is a solid foundation that helps provide high-quality human resources for this industry. In addition, the training program and sending human resources to Korea to work under the E7-3 Visa is opening up great opportunities for Vietnamese workers.
E7-3 Visa is a visa system for highly skilled and specialized workers, helping them work in basic industries in Korea. The Korean government highly values skilled technical workers, and this program opens up opportunities for extensive cooperation between the two countries.
