Hanoi (VNA) – A chicken processingfactory in Chuong My district, Hanoi, has become the first business in Vietnamto be licensed to export processed chicken products to Russia.
The Department of Animal Health under theMinistry of Agriculture and Rural Development on March 8 said the Russiananimal and phytosanitary quarantine agency had sent an official notice to thedepartment, allowing imports of Vietnamese processed chicken products from C.PVietnam Corporation.
To make inroads into the selective market,Vietnamese firms need to meet strict standards on raising, slaughtering andprocessing, as well as ensuring biological and food safety, disease-freeproducts, and traceability.
Businesses must also meet other criteria andtechnical barriers from Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU).
Now that Vietnam is allowed to export processedchicken to Russia means the country could also export to other EAEU members, includingBelarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan./.
