The first shipment of Russian pork will arrive in the Southeast Asian country next week as per schedule.
Stressing that high demand of pork in Vietnam is an opportunity for Miratorg to boost pork import, Minister Cuong said Vietnam can export fish and shrimp to Russia because Russian can’t breeding fish and shrimp or other agricultural products.
