Vietnamese mangoes officially enter the US
The US has officially opened the door for Vietnamese mangoes to enter its market, according to the Vietnamese Embassy in Washington D.C.
Dao Tran Nhan, Trade Minister Counselor and Vietnam Trade Office Chief Representative in the US, said the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved the import of Vietnamese mangoes into the country.
He said the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has announced the license to allow fresh mangoes from Vietnam to enter the US market from December 29, 2017.
However, fresh mangoes must be subject to regulations, including orchard and packinghouse requirements, irradiation treatment, and port of entry inspection. The fruit is also required to be imported in commercial consignments accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by Vietnam’s Plant Protection Department, with an additional declaration stating that the consignment was inspected and found free of Macrophoma mangiferae and Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae.
This is one of the outcomes of the two countries’ commitments to opening up trade between both sides that their leaders made during US President Donald Trump’s recent visit to Vietnam.
