Vietnam just made its first fresh pork export

Mavin Group became the first Vietnamese pork producers to export fresh pork to a foreign market by delivering the first batch to Myanmar and the end of May. The company, a joint venture of Australia and Vietnam, is working with Japanese Sojitz Vietnam to open foreign market for fresh pork products, reports Vietnam News.
The pork shipment, made in coordination with Sojitz Vietnam, is considered a success of the domestic animal farming sector because this is the first time a Vietnamese company has fulfilled another country’s technical and quality requirements to export pork.
Deputy minister of agriculture and rural development Vu Van Tam confirmed that the production capacity of the livestock farming sector had exceeded domestic demand and even led to some overproduction crises in the past.
Since 2017, Vietnam has gained access for poultry to the Japanese market and for suckling pigs to Hong Kong, Malaysia and some other Asian markets. Still, fresh pork exports its a first in the history of commerce. According to David John Whitehead, chairman of Mavin Group, the company intends to export 26 tonnes every month to Myanmar and could expand the range of products with ham, sausage and smoked meat.
