Vietnam Fruit, Vegetables to Be Eligible for Export to EU

The head of Zone 2 Plant Quarantine Division of the Plant Protection Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said Vietnam will have its fresh vegetables and fruit granted quarantine certificates as of June 30, making them eligible for export to European Union (EU) after more than one year of temporary halt.

 

The temporary halt of the export of five kinds of vegetables, namely basil, sweet pepper, celery, bitter gourd and coriander began in early 2012 when the produce failed to meet EU food hygiene and safety regulations.
