Director of the MARD’s Agro-Forestry-Fisheries Quality Assurance Department Nguyễn Như Tiệp predicted export growth of fruit and vegetables to be maintained in the second half, assuming firms pay attention to quality, design, packaging and origin tracing to meet market demand. It will also consider working with the Việt Nam Trade Office in China’s Nanning to step up the consumption of farm produce at the expo. An online forum is slated for July 21 to connect production, processing and export of Vietnamese shrimp to the US. Trade promotion activities for fruit products will be also held on the sidelines of events marking the 50th anniversary of Việt Nam-Japan diplomatic ties and the ASEAN-Japan Summit in Tokyo in this December. Every quarter, MARD units update market regulations and consumer preferences through commercial attachés and the Việt Nam business associations in various markets.
