    The Plant Protection Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam announced in Hanoi on the afternoon of October 17 the requirements
    for the export of Vietnamese fresh grapefruit to the US market.
    Mr.
    Hoang Trung, Director of the Plant Protection Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam, said that after more than 5 years of negotiations, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) officially announced that it would allow the import of fresh grapefruit from Vietnam
    .
     
    According to this, Vietnamese fresh mango, longan, lychee, dragon fruit, rambutan and star apple became the seventh fruit
    allowed by Vietnam to be exported to the US market.
     
    It is reported that the consumption demand for fruits in the United States is very large, up to 12 million tons
    per year.
    At present, the domestic fresh fruit production in the United States can meet only 70% of domestic demand, and the remaining 30% (equivalent to 3.
    6 million tons) must be imported
    from abroad.
     
    At present, Vietnam has a grapefruit planting area of about 105,400 hectares and an output of nearly 905,000 tons, producing typical grapefruit varieties
    from different regions.
    Especially in the Kowloon River Delta region of Vietnam, the area of grapefruit cultivation is about 32,000 hectares, and the output is about 369,000 tons
    .
    This is a huge space and opportunity
    for Vietnamese fresh grapefruit and even Vietnamese fruits to enter the US market.
     
    In order to implement the plan to export fresh grapefruit to the US market, the Plant Protection Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam will coordinate with relevant parties to deploy solutions simultaneously, especially focusing on training producers and exporters to grasp the requirements
    of fresh grapefruit export to the US market.

    the United States.
