Accordingly, the perspective of the Project is to promote the potential and advantages of ecological regions to sustainably develop the bee industry along the value chain, with traceability of product origin.

Develop beekeeping goods and services associated with ecology in the direction of professionalization and modernization on the basis of promoting appropriate experience from traditional beekeeping. This is to create livelihoods, increase people's income and contribute to protecting biodiversity in agriculture and nature.

Deeply process and diversify bee products with high-added value to meet market demand, promote exports, and improve competitiveness in the international market.

Apply scientific achievements and new technology, improve efficiency and competitiveness of the bee industry; socialize and internationalize activities in the bee industry.

With those perspectives, the Project sets common goals of sustainable development, improving the competitiveness of the bee industry, and building and protecting the brand of Vietnamese bee products.

Products of the bee industry are produced mainly from professional beekeeping facilities, ensuring biosafety, disease safety, traceability, environmentally friendly, and meeting quality and food safety requirements for domestic consumption and export.

The specific goals from now to 2030 are to maintain the number of 1.3 to 1.5 million bee colonies moving according to flower sources, and honey sources, achieving the national average honey yield of over 42 kg/swarm/year for foreign bee colonies and over 18 kg/swarm/year for domestic bee colonies;

Total honey production is stable at 55-60 thousand tons/year, of which about 80% is exported and about 20% is domestic consumption.
