Vietnam's agricultural exports to China are facing increasing difficulties due to tightening export requirements, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). According to Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Lê Minh Hoan China is no longer an easy market due to increasingly stricter regulations to protect consumers' health. The standard of living is also increasing, meaning Vietnam's enterprises cannot maintain old production and business methods for farm produce exported to China.
MARD has proposed to strengthen the update of legal provisions on food safety and propaganda on safe food production according to regulations and requirements of Vietnam and China.
Trần Thị Bích Ngọc, head of Móng Cái International Border Gate Management Board, said to promote Vietnam's agricultural exports to China, enterprises needed to change further thinking, management, production and business methods.
