Vietnamese market now open to Irish beef exports

Irish beef and beef products have been approved to enter the Vietnamese market, where rising incomes and a growing middle class have increased demand for premium proteins

With a growing population and demand for high-quality proteins, Vietnam has opened its market to Irish beef exports.

It was announced this week that the Vietnamese market is now open to beef exports from Ireland.

Announcing the news, agriculture minister Martin Heydon, said: “Vietnam is the world’s 14th most populous country and its economy has experienced rapid growth and development in recent years. Rising disposable income, urbanisation and a shift toward eating out are leading to increased demand for beef."
