In fact, Vietnam has only one product – Phu Quoc fish sauce, which is formally registered as PGI in the EU. Meanwhile the market granted PGI status to 7,000 products globally.
Having PGI registered in the EU helps Vietnamese products easily penetrate the huge market and be protected there, said the MARD representative.
