Gia Lai Province boosts agricultural exports to China with over 10,000 hectares of certified farmland.

Additionally, the province has 92 OCOP (One Commune One Product) products with strong export potential to China.
China, one of Vietnam’s most important trading partners, has been imposing increasingly stringent requirements on product quality, traceability, packaging, and preservation.
