Hoa Binh exports first batch of Dien pomelo to UK

The first batch of Dien pomelo from the northern province of Hoa Binh was exported to the UK on December 12.

The batch includes nearly 11 tonnes of Dien pomelo produced by farmers in Yen Thuy district’s Ngoc Luong commune.

 Dien pomelo plantations cover about 2,300 ha, accounting for 45% of the total area in the province. Yen Thuy district alone is home to more than 800ha.

 In 2019, the National Office of Intellectual Property issued a trademark certificate for Dien pomelo in Yen Thuy district. Of which, 30 ha of Dai Dong Agricultural Cooperative were granted codes and certified as meeting VietGAP standard.

As the UK is the most demanding market in Europe and the shipment paves the way for the product to become more popular in the world./.
