The 10-tonne macadamia batch has gone through many examinations by authorised agencies, meeting all requirements, including in food safety. The importer is an enterprise in Jeollabuk province, which set up partnership with Dak Lak since 2017.

Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade Huynh Ngoc Duong said that the shipment via official channels to the RoK, the second market of Dak Lak macadamia after Japan, will open up opportunities for the product to enter other Asian countries as well as the world.

Dak Lak boasts favourable soil and climate conditions for macadamia farming, which were initially piloted in Phu Loc and Dlie Ya communes in Krong Nang district in 2003 with a total area of 4 hectares, and expanded to other localities in the province.

To date, Dak Lak has more than 4,500 hectares of macadamia with an output of more than 1,500 tonnes per year.

This year, the locality expects an export revenue of over 1.6 billion USD./.
