This certification is in line with international standards of environmental and social welfare. Therefore, once certified, new opportunities will be opened to Vietnamese enterprises to expand their markets into the European Union.
These opinions were shared by many delegates at a conference entitled, "New Horizons: Promoting Free Trade in Vietnam", held yesterday (on Wednesday) in Hanoi.
At the conference, the Fair-Trade-certified enterprises also opened their own booths to introduce their products to counsellors from member states of the European Union, thus promoting Vietnamese fair-trade commercial products to various EU countries.
