The opening of the Chinese market for crocodile exports from Vietnam will create a great opportunity for this sector to grow faster and more sustainably, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien told the media.

In August, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) and the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) signed a protocol on the official export of crocodile products to China.

Tien described this as not only an economic opportunity but also an impetus for crocodile farming in Vietnam to develop sustainably and meet environmental and animal welfare standards.

The farming has developed in the country, especially in the Mekong Delta, for several decades, generating high-value products such as meat and leather.

Recent difficulties facing crocodile exports have forced many localities and farms to scale down production, that is why the protocol is expected to bolster sales, he said.
