HÀ NỘI — South Korea will enforce the Positive List System (PLS) to strengthen the safety management of whole imported agricultural products, including those from Việt Nam , as of January 1, 2019. The conference aimed to introduce Vietnamese exporters to its new management system of pesticide residue listing for imported agricultural products and help them minimise risks when they export agricultural products to South Korea . Deputy Head of the MoIT’s Department of the Asia-Africa Market Lê An Hải said South Korea had applied a new management mechanism on the list of pesticides in oilseeds and tropical fruits. “This is the key point for fruit in particular and agricultural products in general to increase in volume and export value,” said Toản. Statistics from MoIT show that over the past 25 years, since the establishment of diplomatic relations, bilateral trade between Vietnam and South Korea has grown significantly.
