EU Abandons Pesticide Reduction Target for Agricultural Products

The agricultural export market to the EU is experiencing significant changes as the bloc officially abandons its plan to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030. However, international transportation services still face strict requirements for quality control and traceability from this market. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies 

Maritime shipping activities to the EU are under pressure from increased border inspections. Forwarding companies report high inspection rates for many agricultural products, notably 50% for chili peppers from some countries and 30% for oranges. This requires export service providers to improve transportation and storage standards. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies #shipping service company #freight and logistics services #shipping international #shipping service company #freight and logistics services #shipping international

EU is one of the largest markets for Vietnamese agricultural products

Statistics from early 2025 show that the EU has issued 12 warnings regarding Vietnamese food and agricultural products. Many logistics companies face situations where goods are recalled or destroyed due to non-compliance with labeling regulations, additive use, and veterinary quarantine requirements. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies 

Honey import services to the Northern European market are facing new traceability requirements under Directive 2024/1438. Import entrustment service providers must ensure clear origin labeling and strict control of the entire supply chain from source to endpoint. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies #shipping service company #freight and logistics services  

The trend of entrustment exports is being developed by businesses to meet new EU requirements. Particularly, investment in clean farming technology and quality management systems will help maintain competitiveness in this market. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies #shipping service company #freight and logistics services #shipping international

To adapt to these changes, the logistics industry needs to focus on improving quality control capabilities and building modern traceability systems. Businesses need to proactively update and comply with new EU regulations on food safety and environmental protection. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies #shipping service company 

Although the EU has abandoned its pesticide reduction target, import-export services still need to maintain high standards for quality and environment. Developing sustainable transportation solutions and investing in technology will be key to maintaining and expanding market share in the EU market in the coming period. #freight forwarding #international shipping companies #shipping service company #freight and logistics services #shipping international #shipping service company #freight and logistics services #shipping international
