Son La successfully exports dragon fruit to Russia |
The exports have helped the farmers avoid a season with bountiful crops but low prices and expanded the markets for local fruits.
In addition, this is good news for local farmers, opening up export opportunities to many fastidious markets across the world.
Thuan Chau is one of the pioneering localities in Son Lataking the lead in implementing policies to develop high-quality fruit trees. The district has 3,300ha of fruit including 26ha of red dragon fruit with an estimated output this year of 200 tonnes.
Exporting agricultural products to high-demanding markets is a good sign for Viet Nam. Son La province has exported mango, longan, lychee, and dragon fruit to China, Taiwan (China), Australia, the EU, the U.S., and Russia.
In the first six months of 2020, Son La province sold over 120,000 tons of fruit of various kinds./.
