The agriculture ministry said this is good news for Vietnam’s fruit sector as Australia is a potential fruit export market. Earlier, the country also permitted the import of fresh lychees, mangoes and dragon fruits from the Southeast Asian nation.
Last year, fruit and vegetable exports set a record of 3.5 billion USD, rising by 40 percent from the previous year. Vietnamese fruits and vegetables are sold in 40 countries and territories around the world.
