VIET NAM STRIVES TO EXPORT 50,000 TONNES OF PORK NEXT YEAR

   Ha Noi, Dec. 17 (VNA) -- Viet Nam should raise its pork export volume to 50,000 tonnes in 2002, said Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Cong Tan.
   The Deputy PM spoke at a conference in Ha Noi on Dec. 17 to discuss how to fully tap available resources to boost pork export in the 2001-2010 period.
   To reach the target, Tan noted, the agriculture sector should provide farmers with loans, suitable strains, veterinary services, and animal feed.
   He told the conference that Viet Nam has advantages in terms of its labour force and expertise to expand pig farming. However, the animal husbandry sector must further diversify pork products and seek more outlets.
   Deputy PM Tan recommended the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development soon establish an animal husbandry insurance fund and an association of for-export pig farmers to protect their interests and reduce their risks.
   The Government has recently introduced policies on agriculture promotion, including some on animal husbandry expansion.
   Viet Nam is estimated to export 30,000 tonnes of pork this year, the highest amount so far.--VNA
