TRAINING PROGRAM NO. 10 TAXATION – INVESTMENT INCENTIVES – SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE

From “Learning for Compliance” to “Understanding Policy to Build Competitive Advantage”

TRAINING SERIES “STRENGTHENING FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

FOR VIETNAMESE AGRICULTURAL SMEs”

📅 Tentative Dates: 18–19 September 2026 | 💻 Online via Zoom | 🎁 FULLY SPONSORED – FREE OF CHARGE

A change in tax legislation may begin with a single legal provision, yet its impact can extend throughout the entire business value chain: procurement – production – human resources – payroll – sales – investment – cash flow – profitability.

Investment incentives, when properly understood and strategically applied, can unlock significant opportunities. However, if a business focuses solely on “how much tax can be exempted or reduced” while overlooking sourcing areas, logistics, workforce, markets, cash flow and overall investment returns, it may make a strategic decision with adverse consequences for years to come.

As agriculture rapidly enters an era driven by science – technology – data – innovation, the key question for CEOs is no longer simply:

“How should our business comply with the new regulations?”

The more strategic question is:

“How can we correctly interpret policy, capture the right opportunities, and transform Finance – Accounting – Tax & Legal Management into a competitive advantage?”

This is precisely why Training Program No. 10, as part of the series “Strengthening Financial Management Capabilities for Vietnamese Agricultural SMEs,” continues to be jointly implemented by Rabo Foundation and EDUBELIFE.

THREE STRATEGIC THEMES OF TRAINING PROGRAM NO. 10

1. VAT – PERSONAL INCOME TAX – CORPORATE INCOME TAX: FROM REGULATORY CHANGES TO BUSINESS DECISIONS

EDUBELIFE will help participating businesses systematically review, update and analyze key changes in tax legislation affecting Vietnamese agricultural SMEs.

What distinguishes this program is that it goes beyond conventional regulatory updates. It enables CEOs to understand how new policies affect the entire business value chain, from strategy to execution, thereby shifting the management mindset from:

“dealing with tax consequences AFTER a transaction has occurred”

to

“managing tax risks BEFORE making critical business decisions.”

2. SHOULD A BUSINESS RELOCATE ITS HEAD OFFICE TO A DISADVANTAGED AREA TO ACCESS TAX AND LAND-RENT INCENTIVES?

This is a highly practical strategic question for businesses planning to invest in agricultural processing facilities, expand sourcing areas, or launch new investment projects.

Businesses need to clearly distinguish between:

Where is the head office located? – Where is the investment project implemented? – Where is the factory located? – Where is revenue generated? – Are the incentives granted to the enterprise itself or to the qualifying investment project?

The program helps CEOs assess tax incentives within the broader BIZMAP Business Map, alongside sourcing areas, logistics, workforce, land, markets, capital requirements and cash flow.

Do not relocate your head office simply because tax incentives appear attractive.

Measure the financial returns and assess the associated risks before making such a critical strategic decision.

3. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISES IN AGRICULTURE: WHAT OPPORTUNITIES COULD YOUR BUSINESS BE MISSING?

Advanced seed technologies, deep-processing technologies, post-harvest preservation, biotechnology, automation, traceability systems, data-driven management of agricultural sourcing areas…

Many agricultural SMEs are already investing in science and technology but may not yet fully understand the eligibility requirements, support mechanisms and incentive policies potentially available to their businesses.

Training Program No. 10 will help CEOs view science and technology not merely as “an investment cost”, but as a strategic asset capable of enhancing productivity, product value and long-term competitiveness.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The program is particularly relevant to CEOs, business owners, CFOs, Chief Accountants, executive management teams, and managers across key business functions within agricultural SMEs, impact enterprises and cooperatives.

It is especially valuable for businesses preparing to invest in new factories, agricultural projects, or science and technology applications in production.
