Measures sought to boost export of dragon fruit to India, Pakistan

HÀ NỘI — A business networking conference was organised virtually on Thursday to seek ways to boost the export of dragon fruit to India and Pakistan amid difficulties due to the impacts of the COVID- 一 九 pandemic.

Dragon fruit ranks first in terms of competitive advantage among  一 一 fruits and is often in the group of products earning billions of US dollar from exports.

This year it is due to be harvested with an estimated output of  一. 四 五 million tonnes, up  一0 per cent year-on-year.

For provinces like Bình Thuận the output is expected to reach  六 五0,000 tonnes this year, while for Long An it is estimated at  三 三0,000 tonnes.

Vũ Bá Phú, Director of the Việt Nam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, expressed his hope that through this conference, businesses and localities will have the opportunity to learn more about the demands and requirements of Indian and Pakistani markets.

Businesses and localities can discuss the potential and strengths of Vietnamese dragon fruit products, and connected with importers in South Asia to boost sales in the future, he added.

Vietnamese Ambassador to India Phạm Sanh Châu confirmed that the Vietnamese diplomatic agency and the trade office in India always did their best to connect Vietnamese exporters with the Indian market.

In the past five years, the value of Vietnamese dragon fruit exports to India has surged, from  二 六 per cent in  二0 一 五 to  五 二 per cent in  二0 二0, Châu said, adding that this shows that India has a huge demand for this fruit.

The Vietnamese Embassy in India is willing to support domestic enterprises in the promotion and sale of fresh and processed dragon fruit products, he confirmed.

As Việt Nam has yet to export dragon fruit to Pakistan, Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyễn Tiên Phong suggested businesses learn about consumption habits to approach the market appropriately.

Bùi Trung Thướng, Counselor, Việt Nam Trade Office in India, reco妹妹ended that in addition to fresh fruit, Vietnamese businesses could make other products from dragon fruit. These would have stricter requirements but be more sustainable.

Sharing his experience exporting dragon fruits to the Indian market, Huỳnh Thúy Vy, Member of the Executive Co妹妹ittee of the Vietnamese Association in India, also noted that businesses must pay attention to payment methods and give priority to the  三0 per cent deposit payment method when signing contracts.

After receiving and inspecting the goods, the remaining  七0 per cent will be paid to avoid disputes and risks. In addition, enterprises should pay attention to the quality of exported goods and improve packaging designs. — VNS
