China has finally agreed in principle to remove restrictions on pork exports from Vietnam, says the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
- Vietnam temporarily suspends meat imports from Brazil
- Planning a meat-free tour? Chow down in Saigon
- Pho with beef meatballs among best street foods in Asia
- Meat imports, banned substances threaten Vietnam’s livestock industry
