Beef exports by India to Vietnam reduced by about 11% (equivalent to US$ 11.3 million) in terms of value despite still accounting for a high share of Vietnam’s total beef import value (71.3%). Australia was the second largest exporter of beef in terms of market share (accounting for nearly 17%); its export value reached US$ 2.4 million during this period (up 19.9% over the same period of 2008). The United States and Brazil – two large exporters of poultry to Vietnam – saw a significant drop in their export value in these first 7 months. U.S. exports reached only US$ 32.7 million (38% lower than the same period of 2008). Brazil's export value stood at about US$ 10 million, over 50% lower than nearly US$ 22.3 million of the same period. Meat imports in coming months are forecast to keep reducing due to enterprises’ limited imports for fear of contaminated products and strongly reduced market demand for imported meat products.
