Last week, the Vietnamese Embassy in the Republic of Korea, TPS Farmers and Vinaka companies have signed an agreement to boost the import and distribution of Vietnamese farm produce in South Korea.
The Vietnamese community in South Korea has shown a rising demand for agro-aquatic products and processed food from Vietnam. With the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Department of Asian – African Markets, the embassy’s Trade Office actively worked with Vietnamese exporters and importers to study demand and suggest building a regular information sharing mechanism to promptly tackle difficulties.
As a result, they agreed to popularise Vietnamese farm produce trademarks in South Korea and pledged to import farm produce and processed food worth US$5.2 million between now and 2022, including fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, beverages and spices.
