The Vietnamese lychees licensed to be exported to Japan is a good signal, showing that Vietnam's fruit products are able to conquer the most demanding markets.
Moc Chau district in the northwestern mountainous province of Son La is striving to export 400 – 500 tonnes of mango to China, after its specialty fruit was licenced to enter the market this year.
The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of the southern province of Vinh Long is joining hands with the Green Path Vietnam Trading and Import-Export Company to increase mango export to the US.
Vietnam has now begun officially exporting its mangoes to the US market, after the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave permission for the import of fresh mangoes from the Southeast Asian nation in 2017.
Fruit and vegetables have surpassed traditional farm produce such as rice, rubber, tea, and cashew nuts to become a major foreign currency earner in the agricultural sector.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has given permission to fresh mango fruit imports from Vietnam to the US, which will be effective from December 29.
