Vietnam hopes that the US will continue granting import licences to more high quality Vietnamese agricultural products, he stated.
Earlier, the USDA announced its official decision to allow for Vietnamese longan and litchi to be ship to the US if they meet American standards for food hygiene and safety. The decision comes into effect as from October 6, 2014.
