Hai Duong exports pomelo to EU
Cultivated under stringent technical and food safety standards, the pomelos were harvested, processed, and packaged at a facility in Hai Duong to meet EU import requirements.
Hai Duong province held a ceremony late last month to announce the first shipment of its Hoa Binh pomelos to the EU market by sea for the 2024 export season.
The shipment includes Tan Lac red-fleshed pomelos and green-skinned ones grown in Hoa Binh. Cultivated under stringent technical and food safety standards, they were harvested, processed, and packaged at a facility in Hai Duong to meet EU import requirements.
Nguyen Ngoc Nam, Deputy General Director of FUSA-Eco Hoa Binh, said in 2022, the company exported 120 tonnes, but due to unfavourable weather conditions in 2024, export volume is estimated at 60 tonnes. Yet, international consumers have praised the high quality of Hoa Binh pomelos.
In the comming time, the company plans to tap into the Middle Eastern market. It is also committed to long-term collaboration with Hoa Binh’s agricultural sector to expand the global reach of local produce.
