Stricter rules for local businesses to boost farm produce to China

Tran Van Ut, director of a seafood import-export company based in Mong Cai city in the northern province of Quang Ninh, revealed that the firm has proactively deployed the planning of raw material areas in order to meet China’s stricter regulations on packaging, logistic services, and preservation to make further inroads into the demanding market.

The company has three products which have been exclusively exported to the Chinese market, including Ben Tre white clams, flower clams, and paper clams, he added.

The company is currently co-operating alongside Chinese partners which are allowed to import exclusively in the northern neighbour to bring more local products to the market, thereby raising higher revenue for the firm.

According to Quan Hue Van, director of Duc Vu Logistics Co., Ltd. in Dongxing city, despite huge potential, Vietnamese farm produce and aquatic products have not yet penetrated deeply into the Chinese market as businesses have not linked to major corporations, modern distribution channels, or online networks, as well as big supermarkets in China.

Van emphasized that there is ample room for Vietnamese farm produce in China, adding that the company has paid close attention to farming areas and meet stringent requirements set in terms of packaging, origin traceability, and other rules as a means of further boosting exports to the fastidious market.

Recently, three types of products, namely frozen seafood, aquatic animals used for food, and some types of plant varieties, have just been approved by the Chinese quarantine agency to enter China through Bac Luan II Bridge.

The move has opened up plenty of opportunities for Vietnamese businesses to gain entry to the market, as well as other countries around the world
