The export of Korean laying hens to Vietnam has encountered challenges due to Vietnam's introduction of new inspection criteria, including checks for avian influenza, Newcastle disease, salmonella, and E. coli, aimed at reducing import reliance and bolstering its domestic market. The discovery of salmonella in Korean exports has led to shipment cancellations, impacting Korea's industry. To mitigate this, experts recommend enhancing hygiene practices to reduce salmonella cases and exploring new markets like Malaysia and Indonesia. Additionally, institutional support is suggested to aid struggling exports.
