Hanoi (VNA) – Measures to boost the export oflivestock products were discussed at a workshop held in Hanoi on June 7 by theMinistry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).

Dam Xuan Thanh,Deputy Director of the MARD’s Department ofAnimal Health revealed that Vietnam exported about 11,000 tonnes of pork for100 million USD in 2016. The figures for the first five months of 2017 wereapproximately 10,600 tonnes and 46 million USD.

Six slaughterhouses have exported pork to HongKong (China) and two others have shipped products to Malaysia. 

Only two companies, Koyu & Unitek Co. Ltd. and CPVietnam Co. Ltd. have registered for the export of processed chicken productsto Japan.

Pham Van Dong, Director of the Department ofAnimal Health, said closed supply chains from farms to slaughterhouses areneeded to ensure food safety and fulfill requirements from imported countries.

In the long term, the establishment ofdisease-free areas for pig and poultry breeding is necessary to increaseexports, he added.

Nguyen Duc Hoang, Chairman of Thang Loi Co. Ltd.,said the State should build disease-free areas as businesses do not have enoughresources.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Vu Van Tam suggested local companies invest in modern production lines and coldstorage facilities to produce processed products for export.

The MARD will propose the Government provide creditsfor businesses to expand export markets, he noted.-VNA
