In the past, export sellers often thought of China as a flexible market, different from Japan, Europe, and the US. However, by early 2022, the conditions for importing agricultural products in this market have become strict in terms of origin and licenses to import into this market. Let's find out the answer with FASMPO in this article!

1. Opportunity to export fresh coconut to China

  • Currently, Vietnam has more than 180,000 hectares of agricultural land used to grow coconuts, most of which are concentrated in the Mekong Delta provinces, especially the four provinces of Ben Tre, Tra Vinh, Tien Giang and Vinh Long with a total area of exceed 130,000 hectares
  • Vietnam ranks 7th in fresh coconut production in the world. Although facing many challenges and fierce competition, it is still a coconut consumption market with a lot of potential.
  • China's large market of 1.5 billion people today has been divided into many different segments. Therefore, there is no other market with such strong consumption and payment of high-end food as this place.

2. Things to know when exporting young coconuts to China

After the ASEAN - China Trade Agreement (ACFTA), many new policies on food safety management were formed and also encountered many challenges. Below are a few coconut export standards that readers can refer to:

  • Need to comply with Food Standards Board standards administered by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
  • It is necessary to ensure the maximum allowable residue level of pesticides.
  • Strictly implement plant quarantine measures (CPM) and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), helping to ensure product traceability and handle issues related to food safety .
  • Provide complete information in declarations (commercial, shipping) and pay all fees. Customs only accepts after import taxes and other fees have been settled.
  • Planting unit code (PUC)
  • Import license issued by The General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC).

Vietnamese fresh coconuts have great opportunities when exported to China, but to be successful you need to better understand customer requirements.
