Vietnam, China businesses partner in watermelon consumption
Nearly 100 Vietnam and China businesses have signed a cooperation deal to sell water melon and some other special farm produce from the central province of Quang Ngai.
At a signing ceremony in Quang Ngai on April 17, vice chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tang Binh asked the Chinese businesses to provide essential information regarding the setting up of a stable distribution and circulation network for agricultural products, thereby helping them become a reliable partner of local farmers.
Head of the Domestic Market Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade Tran Duy Dong said China has traced the origin of Vietnamese fruits since April 1, 2018.
The Ministry urged all relevant businesses and agricultural co-operatives to meet requirements of a safe production process to boost their sales of farm produce in the market.
The Ministry also asked local authorities to guide agricultural production according to plans and minimize spontaneous production, which has recently resulted in a supply surplus, said Mr Dong.
Last year, Vietnam’s total water melon output reached 1.5 million tons with an export value of more than US$95 million, of which China made up nearly 90%.
