The Ri6 durian, a specialty from Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, is now available in the UK market for the first time. A shipment of five tons of these durians, imported by the UK’s TT Meridian Ltd, went through customs clearance on May 4 and were distributed to supermarkets in the UK.
With superior quality and zero import duties thanks to the UK-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (UKVFTA), the Vietnamese durians could compete with rivals from other countries in the UK market, said the office.
