Vietnamese agri-products prepared for export after EVFTA
Dozens of Vietnamese agricultural products like dragon fruit, grapefruit and pineapples will be exported to the EU on September 16 and 17, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Coffee beans and passion fruit will be exported on September 16 by Vinh Hiep 404 Company and Dong Giao Food Export Company. On September 17, Vina T&T Group will export grapefruit, coconuts and dragon fruit.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh said EU market ranked as Vietnam's fourth biggest fruit and vegetable importer. Since August 1 when the EVFTA went into effect, the amount of exported fruits and vegetable has gone up to take the opportunities after 94 of the total 547 tariff lines on vegetable and fruit products to EU were lifted.
The export turnover in August reached USD14.7m, an increase of 25.2% compared to the previous month and an increase of 6% compared to the same period in 2019. Taxes will decrease by 7-11% to 0% for unroasted or roasted coffee and from 9-12% to 0% for processed coffee.
Vietnam's coffee exports also account for a large share in the EU. In August, Vietnam exported nearly USD76m worth of coffee to the EU, an increase of 34.7% compared to the previous month. More opportunities are expected when taxes on coffee products will be exempted in the future.
In the coming time, the ministry will continue negotiating to export more agricultural, fishery and forestry products to the EU.
