On September 16, Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development held a ceremony in Gia Lai Province to announce the export of the first batch of Vietnam-grown passion fruit to Europe under the European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). The 100-ton shipment was sent to the Netherlands by the Dong Giao Foodstuff Export Joint Stock Company.
Deputy Minister Le Quoc Doanh spoke highly of the significant efforts made by Dong Giao – one of the country’s leading enterprises in the field of farm produce production, processing and export, especially with regard to fruit.
En.nhandan.org.vn quoted him as saying: “With passion fruit, the ministry expects the company to continue developing sustainably and effectively, expanding its production and processing scale, and gradually conquering foreign markets, thereby affirming the quality and solid position of Vietnam’s agriculture in the international arena.”
