French beef and apple return to Vietnam
19:29, 2015/12/09
French beef and apple have been shipped to Vietnam after a ban on the import of these products was lifted on May 1.
At a press briefing in Hanoi on December 8, French Ambassador to Vietnam Jean-Noel Poirier said frozen beef is being sold in Vietnam and French businesses are planning the export of fresh beef to the country.
We will also ask the Vietnamese Government to open door to kiwifruit, the ambassador said.
Mr Poirier revealed that they will supply a certain volume of beef and apple in order to avoid price fluctuation. French beef is not too costly and just the same as of those from Australia and America.
 

A representative from the French Food Industries Association (ANIA) asserted that the criteria and quality of French exported products all meet EU standards.
France used to be a world’s leading beef exporter. However, it had to stop exporting beef due to the impact of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) disease in 2000.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) officially announced that France contained the BSE disease in 2008. Currently, French beef products are shipped to the EU, Brazil, the US, New Zealand and some ASEAN countries.
In 2012, France exported 600 tonnes of apples to Vietnam, but after that it temporarily halted because of limited demand.
