Vietnam to promote livestock product exports

Vietnam expects livestock products to join the list of products gaining billion-dollar export value, if Vietnam can sign an agreement on poultry-meat exports with China. — Vietnam News

HANOI: Vietnam expects the value of its agricultural exports to China to increase sharply this year, as China agrees to review regulations permitting official exports of poultry meat from Vietnam.

Last year, livestock products accounted for only 1% of the agricultural, forestry and fishery export value to China at US$12.2bil. That was mainly due to Vietnam not yet being permitted official exports of meat products to China.
