During a webinar held last month, the AEGIC provided an update on the 2020 barley season and introduced attractive offers to Vietnamese partners.
Director of the AEGIC Barley Market Mary Raynes said that as Vietnam’s beer output is expected to grow by 2-3 percent annually, barley imports are likely to rise to 330,000 tonnes by 2030, nearly double the figure in 2019.
Meanwhile, Executive Chairman of Barley Australia Megan Sheehy explained how Australia’s malt barley accreditation system adds value for customers.
Professor Matthew Tucker from the University of Adelaide and barley malt flavour research fellow Sue Stewart, meanwhile, presented cutting-edge research and information comparing the flavour components of barley varieties from Australia and its competitors.
With over 40 representatives from Vietnam’s beer and alcoholic beverage market, the event opened up new trade opportunities between the two countries.
Australia’s barley sector is keen to seek alternative markets and is targeting Asian nations, including Indonesia, India, and Vietnam.

The shipments aim to promote tra fish products to the world market, as well as supply the domestic market.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien said that in spite of impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, the export of agricultural products has basically met targets, especially tra fish, a major foreign currency earner that has gradually regained access to traditional markets.
The exporter, Nam Viet Group, owns a tra fish farming area of nearly 1,000 ha with modern technologies and GlobalGAP, Aquaculture Stewardship Council, and VietGAP certificates.
It has 4 processing factories with high standards, each month exporting from 320 to 350 containers (25 tons each container) of tra fish products made under a high-tech process.
As planned, the group will export about USD110-120 million of tra fish products in 2020.
