The Plant Protection Department of Vietnam announced the opening of the Japanese, Chinese, and New Zealand markets for various Vietnamese agricultural products, including longan, sweet potatoes, lemons, and grapefruit. This achievement makes 2022 the most successful year in the history of Vietnamese agricultural export permissions. The process of negotiating these exports is detailed and lengthy, with sweet potatoes taking up to 10 years for China and 3 years for New Zealand. These exports must adhere to strict quarantine and safety standards, including traceability from planting to packaging. The department's efforts are aimed at motivating farmers to improve professionalism and quality, leading to increased income and revenue.
