Workshop discusses ways to increase exports to EU

Tien Giang (VNA) - The Vietnam Fruit Association (Vinafruit) held a workshop on "growing, processing and exporting vegetable and fruit to Europe " in northern province Tien Giang on September 4-5.

Experts from OSEC/SIPPO, a Swiss organisation, and the Southern Fruit
Research Institute (Sofri) analysed Vietnam's strategies in vegetable and
fruit export, promotional measures, and the EU's regulations in importing
the staple, particularly quality examination and origin identification.

Vietnam 's southern region has 460,900ha of vegetable and fruit,
accounting for nearly 60 % of the whole country. Some provinces have
invested in developing their specialties.

The region expects to earn 192 million USD from exporting vegetable and
fruit in 2010.-
