The batch comprised 3 tons of white-flesh dragon fruit, which had been granted a quarantine certificate by the Vietnam Plant Protection Department. The batch, which was transported by air, marked new progress for Vietnam’s agriculture sector in expanding fruit export markets. Dragon fruit has the potential to bring in much more profit than other kinds of fruit because it is grown all year round.
