Sorting out dragon fruit for export in Vietnam.

According to the Vietnamese Embassy, India mainly imports dragon fruit from Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka of which its imports from Vietnam account for 80% of the total amount.

From April to October 2021, Vietnam’s dragon fruit export turnover to India amounted to nearly 6 million USD, an increase of 211% over the same period of the previous year.

The Embassy says India is a large market which has a high demand for fruit consumption and it is sensitive to price fluctuations. A sharp drop in the price of Vietnamese dragon fruit would create a good opportunity for businesses to increase their exports to India.
