Statistics showed that in the first four months of 2021, the value of frozen Vietnamese ginger exported to Australia grew 1,350 percent on-year to surpass 348,000 USD.
To further promote the Vietnamese goods, the office has so far launched promotion programmes at stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and most recently, as part of a golf tournament held by the Vietnamese community in Parramatta.
According to Nguyen Phu Hoa, head of the office, Australia is currently opening its market to longan, lychee, mango and dragon fruit from Vietnam. Therefore, the diversification of exports to seek new opportunities through the trade of processed agricultural products is a promising direction for Vietnamese firms and farmers./.
