AsemconnectVietnam - Australia has so far opened its market for four kinds of fresh fruit from Vietnam - dragon fruit, lychee, mango and longan, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

Vegetable and fruits register the highest growth rate among Vietnamese exports to Australia, only behind fishery products.
The ministry’s statistic revealed that export turnover to Australia increased at an annual average of 9% during 2009-2022.
However, experts said there is still a lot of work needed for Vietnamese agricultural products to secure a firm foothold in Australia, which has more stringent requirements than the US, EU on labeling, food safety and trace of origin.
According to the ministry, in order to boost agricultural exports, enterprises should have a better understanding about requirements and business practices of the market. Besides, Vietnamese and Australian agencies should coordinate more closely to deal with requirements on biological safety for imported farm produce and broaden the scope of agricultural cooperation between the two countries.
