Vietnam’s fresh pomelo licensed to export to RoK

The Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency of the Republic of Korea has officially announced regulations for importing fresh pomelos from Vietnam on its website, according to the Plant Protection Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Thus, pomelo is the third fresh fruit from Vietnam permitted for export to the the Republic of Korea, along with dragon fruit and mango, marking a significant milestone and opening up great opportunities for Vietnamese agricultural products to access international markets.

This approval helps affirm the quality and reputation of Vietnamese farm produce in the global market.

To meet standards for exporting pomelo to the the Republic of Korea, the growing areas must register annually with the department. The agency will manage and supervise these areas to ensure that the pest species of concern to the RoK are kept at low density levels through pest monitoring and control activities.

Packaging facilities that sort and pack fresh pomelos for export to the the Republic of Korea must also register annually with the department and undergo regular cleaning and inspections./.
