The fruit industry in Vietnam has a great potential and plays an important role in agricultural production. In 2003, Vietnam exported US$43 million of high value fruit to high-income countries and imported US$14 million of fruit and vegetables. Vietnam is experiencing difficulties in competing with other Asian nations in export markets and its own domestic market, especially with China and Thailand. This suggests that Vietnam’s horticultural industries require substantial development to be globally competitive. Vietnamese consumers are demanding safer and higher quality fruit. This project has identified key pre-and post-harvest technology gaps that reduce product quality, safety and consistency. Targeted training programs are focusing on the total supply. | Ministry of Agriculture Rural Development AusAID J Australian Government Completion Report Improvement of export and domestic markets for Vietnamese fruit through improved post-harvest and supply chain management.
