Fruit exports chief concern for four northern provincesThe northern provinces of Bac Giang, Hung Yen, Hai Duong and Son La have proposed boosting exports of litchi and longan to foreign markets, including China. The proposal was the key topic of discussion at on Wednesday’s annual conference in Ha Noi on the production and distribution of these two main fruit products in northern areas. Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Nguyen Xuan Cuong expressed determination to help the provinces sell their products at home and abroad. The PPD has also been negotiating for higher fruit exports quota to Japan and South Korea, as many Japanese and Korean companies are keen on importing these fruits. To meet the requirements of traditional export markets and to expand to new markets for fruit and nuts, Viẹt Nam needs to improve its activities in terms of quality, design and food safety.
