Under the new regulations, RoK fresh strawberries exported to Việt Nam must be produced, packaged, treated and stored at facilities registered with the RoK’s agricultural goods authorities, said the department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The boxes of strawberries must also have the name or registration code of the production and packaging facilities. The exports must also undergo quarantine checks by the RoK’s plant quarantine agencies and receive quarantine certificates, reported baohaiquan.vn. Việt Nam agreed to import RoK strawberries in 2016 after years of negotiation on quarantine issues between the two sides. In Việt Nam, RoK strawberries sell for VNĐ600,000-800,000 per kilo.
