HCM
City (VNS/VNA) - Vietnam s
bird-nest exports are expected to
be worth hundreds of millions of dollars when the world s largest market,
China, opens up this year.
Chinese demand for bird’s
nest is growing, but Vietnamese firms need to take new measures to officially
export to that country rather than involve in informal border trade, the
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) said.
Do Tu Quan, head of the Vietnam
Swiftlet Farming Association, said Vietnamese exporters hope the two countries
would quickly reach agreement and the first order to China could be delivered

Vietnam is waiting for the completion of import-export procedures with China, a stepping stone for the Southeast Asian country to officially tap into the high-demand Chinese market for bird’s nests, which offers a variety of opportunities and profits.
China is the largest consumer of bird’s nests in the world, according to the Vietnam Farms and Agricultural Enterprises Association (VFAEA).
China s statistics show that the official import of bird’s nests into China was 180 metric tons in 2019 and 220 metric tons in 2020 while it is estimated to reach 300 metric tons in 2021.
