According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, about 17,000 to 18,000 tons of fruit arrive at HCM City’s Thu Duc fruit wholesale market every night, including 30% of imported fruits. Imported fruit is not only available at supermarkets but also traditional markets and mobile markets in Hanoi. Ho Quoc Nguyen, Director of External Relations of Big C supermarket chain, said that besides imported fruit, supermarkets also sell fruit of foreign origin grown in Vietnam. This kind of fruit is cheaper than imported fruit of the same kind. Besides foreign markets, fruit exporters are beginning to pay attention to the local market.
