Poland signs deal to export apples to Vietnam
(VOV) - Poland's Minister of Agriculture Marek Sawicki has confirmed that apple exports to Vietnam will begin October 10, following agreements signed October 2 with Vietnamese authorities.
“The agreement opening the Vietnamese market to Polish apples is very important for us,” said Minister Sawicki in making the announcement.
The ministry hopes to export about 100,000 metric tons per year to the Southeast Asian country.
Poland has been actively seeking export markets having suspended apple exports to Russia on August 1, 2014, which had hitherto been the biggest buyer.
In addition, Poland has recently launched exports of apples to other Asian destinations including India, Bangladesh and Singapore.
