In March, American experts had to go back home due to the complicated Covid-19 pandemic situation resulting in suspension of exporting fresh fruits to the market.
On September 2, the US decided to send phytosanitary experts to the Southeast Asian country for working amid the Covid-19 well-control.
The US has allowed to import six Vietnamese fresh fruits such as dragon fruit, rambutan, longan, lychee, star apple and mango so far with a total turn-over of around US$20 million a year.
In the upcoming time, the Vietnamese Plant Protection Department will closely work with US Embassy in Vietnam, the US Department of Agriculture to promptly solve every issue related to trade in plant-based agricultural products, contributing to the bilateral trade promotion.
From March 25 up to now, Vietnam has exported over 2,000 tons of fresh fruits to the US market, contributing to supporting farmers and enterprises in the current period of Covid-19.
