However, Vietnamese farm produce in the European Union only accounts for 4-5% of the 160 billion USD the bloc's imports.

Vietnamese Commercial Counsellor in Sweden Nguyen Thi Hoang Thuy said that Nordic people are increasingly favouring organic products that have less impact on the environment. They are also eating less meat and consuming more seafood and meat substitutes. Therefore, products with high protein content which could replace meat are easily accepted.

She asked firms to pay attention to environmental protection, the circular economy, sustainable production with social responsibility, and fair trade if they want to conquer Northern Europe. She suggested they focus on healthy, safe, organic, new, convenient and specialty products.
