The domestic Vietnamese Fruits – Vegetables industry will face obstacles in keeping sustainable growth in move value at the current high level, in line with the Vietnam Vegetable and Fruit Relationship.
Total national export value of vegetables and vegetables reached US$2. 4 million in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 30%. Move value is expected to increase to US$3 million this year. The season 2016 witnessed impressive growth in the export value of vegetables and fruits, therefore which their export value exceeded their export value of rice. Frozen Fruits and Frozen Vegetables products were exported to 60 countries and territories, but investment promotion and steps to maintain the freshness of these products have not been developed according to expectations, the association said.
For example, local vegetable and fruit products were sold at only some places in California and New You are able to in the US, partially due to poor control promotion, it said.
ALL OF US apples had, however, came into all distribution systems — from traditional markets to modern trading centres — because the products stored their freshness for half a dozen months and the united states Office of Agriculture ensured money were contributed by local enterprises of importing areas for trade promotion activities.
Meanwhile, Vietnamese vegetable and fruit products remained fresh only for a couple of days, the association said, adding that it expected that a contribution from the california’s credit package worth VND100 trillion for hi-tech cultivation would create favourable conditions for development of control technology for Vietnamese veggie and fruit products.
Nguyen Huu? at from the Vietnam Vegetable and Berry Association said it was necessary to have special loans for the launch of modern processing lines that met international specifications at enterprises.
Additionally, the state must have preferential lending options for research institutes, companies and colleges to research and develop vegetable and fruit seeds and flower protection products, such as pesticides and herbicides. The investigation facilities also required assistance with enterprises and manufacturers to ensure efficiency in vegetable and fruit development.
Nguyen Dinh Tung, basic director of local professional fruit exporter VINA T&T, said the vegetable and fruit industry needed money amounting to VND500 billion dollars for current projects on researching preservation technology for farming products.
He expected that after processing, Vietnam’s major fruit products, such as fresh and frozen dragon fruit and longan, could be stored fresh longer than the current amount of 1-2 weeks.
The association also said local fruit exporters should continue watching food care and safety as they have done within the last 8-10 years, chinhphu. vn reported.
If importing countries determined even one case where food hygiene and security regulations were violated, they would little by little improve the ratio of imported fruits checked from 5% of total imported batches, at present, to 50% or even 100%.
This inspection would take some time, affecting consumption and quality of fruits in the export market, leading to losses and eventually a loss of the enrite market. It would also affect local plant and fruit production.
Dat thought to stand firm in strict and enormous move markets, Vietnamese Fruits – Vegetables exporters should positively partner to implement suited trade promotion programmes, step-by-step enter distribution systems in exporting markets and protect as well as improve competitive ability of Japanese vegetable and fruit products in the world market.
