Masan Consumer, one of Viet Nam’s leading food and beverages companies, has signed a contract with Quang Ngai Province’s Ly Son District for long-term purchase of Ly Son garlic to produce its new Nam Ngu Ly Son Garlic Chili Fish...
The mass trade of imitation products and a lack of Geographical Indication (GI) are seen as major reasons behind falling prices for Ly Son garlic, the product known as the ‘King of Garlic.’
The Island district of Ly Son in the central province will start constructing its first organic garlic farm, with a total investment of VND4 billion (US$177,000).
The National Office of Intellectual Property of Viet Nam under the
Ministry of Science and Technology has recognised the brand ownership
for the products of Ly Son Island including garlic, onion, seafood,
garlic wine, dried seafood and seaweed.
The Republic of Korea has chosen Viet Nam as its first FTA partner that
can export products such as garlic, ginger and honey with tariffs
reduced to zero per cent for the next 10-15 years.
