Chile targets Vietnam for pork exports

Officials from ChileCarne and ChilePork recently introduced pork products to Vietnamese stakeholders. They expressed confidence in Chilean pork’s compatibility with Vietnamese culinary traditions and market standards.

Chilean authorities in Vietnam emphasized the importance of bilateral cooperation and welcomed support from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to facilitate market entry.

Once approved, Chilean pork is expected to reach Vietnamese consumers, marking a new chapter in agri-food trade.

Clean, safe, and fully traceable

Chile’s geography acts as a natural biosecurity shield, keeping its pork industry free from diseases like African swine fever (ASF) and Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS). Strict hygiene and safety standards are enforced across all facilities.

Each exporting company follows a vertically integrated model, ensuring control over every stage of production.

This system guarantees:

• ✅ 100% traceability
• ✅ Stable supply for domestic and export markets
• ✅ Compliance with Chile’s national food safety protocols

Sustainability at the core

Chile’s pork industry is built on circular economy principles and backed by advanced technologies. About 95% of production meets standards that align with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Over the past 20 years, the industry has:

• ✅ Reduced water use per animal by 69%
• ✅ Cut greenhouse gas emissions per pig by 24%
• ✅ Treated 82% of livestock waste with modern systems

Producers also recycle nutrients, use byproducts efficiently, and integrate clean energy sources. Animal welfare and biosecurity are continuously improved and verified.
