The EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is a new generation FTA between Vietnam and EU. EVFTA was signed on June 30, 2019 and took effect from August 1, 2020.

With a wide range of commitments, a deep degree of liberalization and high standard commitments, EVFTA is expected to have a strong impact on the entire economic institution and Vietnamese businesses’ operation.

Fruit and Vegetable is one of the economic sectors that is forecasted to benefit greatly from EVFTA with opportunities for export, import and investment attraction. To assist Vietnamese fruit and vegetable businesses to seize opportunities, actualize potential benefits from EVFTA, The Hanoi Center of Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion (HPA) in collaboration with Center for WTO and International Trade - The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) performed the Handbook "EVFTA and Vietnam's fruit and vegetable sector".

The handbook "EVFTA and Vietnam's fruit and vegetable sector" summarizes and explains EVFTA commitments related to the fruit and vegetable industry in detail, thereby analyzing the opportunities and challenges from these commitments and proposing specific and practical recommendations for enterprises in the fruit and vegetable sector in Vietnam.  

The Handbook (Vietnamese) is attached below:
