More European pork and beef exporters have been licensed by Vietnamese authorities to sell their products in the 90 million-strong market in Vietnam.
These firms want to establish a strong foothold and expand their market share in Vietnam before the EU and the Southeast Asian country sign their free trade agreement in the remaining months of this year.
France is the latest to do so after over 100 French beef exporters got their licenses from the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to sell their boneless beef from cows under 30 months old in the Southeast Asian market, starting this month.
