The US needs to step up the process of importing mangoes and consider the purchase of other fruits from Vietnam, initially pomelo, he told his host.

The USDA is actively examining the details in order to provide early recognition of Vietnam’s law-regulated catfish management system as being equal to the US and will give feedback at the earliest possible time.
He revealed that the USDA will work with its Vietnamese counterpart to discuss measures for the implementation of the Deputy PM’s proposals, especially importing pomelo in the coming time.
