The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has issued Instruction No. 1503/CO, dated 16 July, 2013 regarding the origin on the import and export of vegetables, vegetable products and food products to EU countries.

Every species of vegetable and vegetable products, both fresh and dry such as core, seeds, branch, leaves, etc. when exported or imported is at high risk of contamination from pesticide, insects and fertilizer especially basil, banana, yard long bean, etc.
