Rambutan is the third Vietnamese fruit exported to this market, after mango and dragon fruit.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Quoc Doanh called it a milestone in agricultural cooperation between Vietnam and New Zealand. It shows that the quality of Vietnamese fruit has improved, because New Zealand strictly controls the quality and quarantine of plants.
