Ladies and Gentlemen,
The developed markets are increasingly tightening regulations on imported food. Typically, the United States' Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has recently issued guidance on implementing quality control of food products imported into the United States in a more rigorous manner.
Last November, the Trans-Pacic Partnership (TPP) was ofcially signed, which will expand the market for the member countries, including Vietnam. This Agreement creates more opportunities but also challenges Vietnam businesses in the agricultural sector when competing with enterprises from more advanced countries on the global playing eld.
As quoted from Vneconomy for the rst nine months of 2015, 165 shipment plots of Vietnam's export aquatic products were found violating food safety regulations, 78 out of which were found violating the provisions of antibiotics. According to Report by Veterinary Agencies at the Borders, another main reason for agricultural and sheries exports being returned is due to incorrect packaging specication or false information labelling.
Such facts emphasize the increasing importance of understanding food safety regulations, and adjusting process in compliance with updated requirements. Realizing that, CSC Vietnam JSC has cooperated with Global Food Safety Forum (GFSF) to establish the GFSF Vietnam. We expect GFSF Vietnam to be a
connecting link among Vietnamese enterprises, government agencies and international organizations, jointly offering a solution to food safety problems, and building a reliable business environment.
CSC Vietnam and GFSF desire to create a level playing eld for Vietnamese agricutltural enterprises in order to improve food quality, safety and hygiene in Vietnam as well as boost food exports effectively.
Wish you a new year of 2016 lled with peace, happiness & prosperity
