Vietnam exports first batch of fresh pork

According to Vietnam News, Mavin Group became the first business in Vietnam to export fresh pork to a foreign market when the first batch was shipped to Myanmar in late May.

The pork shipment, made in coordination with Sojitz Vietnam, is considered a success of the domestic animal farming sector because this is the first time a company in Vietnam has fulfilled another country’s technical and quality requirements to export pork.

Deputy minister of agriculture and rural development Vũ Văn Tám said the production capacity of the livestock farming sector had exceeded domestic demand, which even led to some overproduction crises in the past. Considering this, the ministry has proposed the government policies encouraging major enterprises to invest in agriculture, including animal husbandry.
