China will be strict on importing agricultural products.

All types of food and products

Countries that want to produce for export to China must improve production methods.

The Chinese government is not very strict.

But after the COVID-19 crisis

The Chinese government attaches great importance to food safety.

Especially the residues of insecticides and pests.

The departments of the Lao PDR are prepared in terms of production.

Ajarn Nitipoom Thanat had the opportunity to have a meeting + have a meal.

with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Laos for up to 3 days, thus having the opportunity to obtain detailed information on Laos' preparations
