Pork, beef imports from EU to rise sharply

Accordingly, the price of pork, beef, and chicken imported from the EUwill be much cheaper, as the import tariff for these items is set to reach 0% within 3 to 7 years. Currently, about 43 meat exporters in the EUhave been licensed to enter the Vietnamese market. Meat imported from the EU is expected to out-perform domestic products in terms of both quality and taste. In the 2012-2014 period, frozen beef and pork imports from the EU to Vietnam have increased 70-fold. In Quarter One of this year, Vietnam imported 970 tonnes of pork and 8,400 tonnes of beef, up 41% from the same period last year. /.
