Meeting strict quality inspection standards of the European market, Vietnam's first batch of bird's nests was officially exported to the French market.

Following the success of exporting bird's nests to China at the end of 2023, Hai Yen Nha Trang Company has just had its first shipment arrive in the French market at the end of April 2024. This is also the first batch of bird's nests from Vietnam officially exported to the French market.

Hai Yen Nha Trang Company's official export shipment to France includes: Nha Trang bird's nest; Nutritional jar of bird's nest and Nha Trang bird's nest coffee. 100% of products are customs cleared, meeting strict quality inspection standards of France in particular and the European market in general.

Ms. Tran Thanh Hai - Director of Hai Yen Nha Trang Company - shared: "We have worked for quite a long time with French authorities to create an inspection framework for bird's nest products from the first stages until the goods arrive in France and are inspected as finished products. The company is always careful in every stage to protect the quality and Vietnamese bird's nest brand when entering the international market. This is one of the great milestones of Hai Yen Nha Trang in particular and the Vietnamese bird's nest market in general. I hope that in the future, Vietnamese bird's nest will become more popular in France and the European market."

After the customs clearance, products of Hai Yen Nha Trang company were present at the International Fair "Foire de Paris", recently held in Paris from April 27 to May 8, 2024. This is one of the large-scale fairs in Europe. Hai Yen Nha Trang's product display booth received a lot of attention from visitors.

Faced with open market opportunities, Vietnam has classified bird's nest as one of the special livestock products. Over the past 10 years, Vietnam has implemented many policies to promote the development of the bird's nest industry and the goal of reaching billion USD is not too far away.

Currently, the whole country has 42/63 provinces that raise bird's nests with over 22,000 bird's nest houses. Vietnam's bird's nest output is about 150 tons. Continuously since the beginning of 2024 until now, businesses have boosted export orders, as well as strengthened connections and investments with farmers to develop swiftlet flocks.

In the near future, in addition to exported businesses, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will also provide technical training for farmers to ensure traceability, food hygiene and safety, disease safety, and meet high market criteria. With the advantage of having bird nests in 42/63 provinces and cities, plus favorable natural conditions, Vietnam has many bases to form a bird's nest industry.

According to Mr. Nguyen Xuan Duong - Chairman of the Animal Husbandry Association of Vietnam, bird's nest must be considered as a livestock as the Livestock Law has legislated. The system of bird's nest houses must have adequate conditions, and bird's nest products must be standardized and regulated. Only by doing so can we develop strongly and affirm Vietnam's national brand of bird's nest.
