Dak Lak exports 10 containers of bananas to China

The export shipment is worth over VND5 billion, with each container consisting of 21 tonnes of bananas. Le Thi My Hanh, general director of BBF, revealed that the firm has been operating at full capacity in order to fulfill the first order made by foreign partners on schedule in the early days of the New Year.

The representative of BBF Company said the firm initially began to plant nearly 150 hectares of South American bananas back in 2020 by using high-tech tissue transplantation, adding that the selection of varieties, cultivation, and harvest are required to strictly adhere to the technical process to ensure the banana products meet export standards.

Currently, BBF Company has launched banana products in a stable manner with an average output of 65 tonnes per hectare each year.

Last year saw the company export bananas to the Republic of Korea, China, and Japan with an output of over 6,500 tonnes.

With these positive signs, the firm plans to expand approximately 300 hectares of banana cultivation, with the new raw material area expected to generate jobs to many local workers and contribute to ensuring social security.

At the launching ceremony, Nguyen Hoai Duong, director of the Dak Lak Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, pointed out that the export of fruit products to some key foreign markets in recent times has opened up bright prospects for export growth, bringing economic benefits to both investors and farmers based in the province.

He noted that the locality will continue to create the optimal conditions possible for businesses to strengthen connectivity between supply and demand, promote export and domestic consumption, thereby helping to elevate the position of Vietnamese agricultural products in foreign markets.
