Vietnam and Australia have found a new phytosanitary measure for Vietnam’s cut flowers exported to Australia in a bid to resume Vietnam's cut chrysanthemum shipments to the latter country. The Plant Protection Department (PPD) under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Department has reached an agreement with the Australian Department of Agriculture and Water Resources on the use of metsulfuron methyl instead of glyphosate, which has been banned in Vietnam since June 2021 for the sake of people's health and the environment, for treatment of bulbs of cut chrysanthemum before exporting to Australia, starting March 1. Australia has been among important traditional markets of Vietnamese flowers for 23 years. Vietnam ships nearly 30 million cuts of flowers and foliage to the Oceania nation each year, raking in 5.2 million USD. VNA Photo: Nguyễn Dũng
