The California Fresh Fruit Association has celebrated the start of peach and nectarine imports to Vietnam, marking a significant achievement in US-Vietnam trade relations. This milestone, following four years of negotiations, signifies the opening of the Vietnamese market to these US fruits. The decision was accompanied by the upgrading of bilateral relations between the two nations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in September 2023. The California peach and nectarine industry anticipates a warm reception in Vietnam, with efforts to surmount phytosanitary barriers and ensure compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary regulations. This development is heralded as a victory for both countries, promising to enhance agricultural trade and provide Vietnamese consumers with high-quality US produce.
