The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) has officially approved the imports of a number of poultry meat and eggs products from Vietnam.
The approved products include heat-processed poultry meat from CPV Food Co., Ltd and Meatdeli Hanoi Co., Ltd., and canned poultry eggs and meat (excluding beef) that have been sterilised under high temperatures and pressures, as recommended by the Department of Livestock and Veterinary Affairs.
This marks an important milestone in the agricultural trade relations between the 2 countries and is expected to boost export turnover of Vietnam’s livestock products.
To be approved for export to the Singapore market, Vietnamese ministries and enterprises have closely coordinated with SFA to conduct rigorous inspections, field evaluations and online assessments. Two companies have invested in modernising their production processes and technology to comply with SFA’s standards on food safety, operating procedures, traceability and worker training.
This development could act a stepping stone for other Vietnamese enterprises to gradually improve their production processes and eventually entering the highly lucrative Singapore market.
