Nearly 100 tonnes of Vietnamese farm produce exported to Middle East
VOV.VN - LuLu Group International, a leading Middle Eastern retail conglomerate, has imported a second shipment of agricultural products from Vietnamese suppliers, demonstrating strong confidence among Middle Eastern importers in Vietnam’s production capacity, quality standards and ability to meet orders.
The latest charter flight, arranged under the direction of LuLu Group chairman and managing director M.A. Yusuff Ali, was deployed to ensure faster delivery of Vietnamese farm produce to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The Middle Eastern retail group, which operates the LuLu Hypermarket chain, continues to operate dedicated charter flights for Vietnamese agricultural exports to the region. The model not only helps strengthen the position of Vietnamese products within one of the region’s leading retail systems, but also creates broader positive effects for exports to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets as a whole.
The latest shipment, carried by Ho Chi Minh City-based MAY Exports Vietnam, transported 98 tonnes of Vietnamese agricultural products from Tan Son Nhat International Airport to the Middle Eastern market.
For fresh produce, timing is crucial to maintaining quality and freshness when products reach consumers. The continued operation of charter flights has significantly shortened transport times, reduced risks during transit and helped maintain supply chain stability between Vietnam and the Middle Eastern market.
Beyond commercial significance, the cargo flights also highlight Vietnam’s growing role in the global agricultural supply chain. Efforts to maintain stable cargo flows amid complex geopolitical conditions reflect the proactiveness, flexibility and effective coordination between Vietnamese exporters and major international distribution groups.
The successful operation of the second charter flight has also created expectations for regular cargo routes between Vietnam and the Middle East in the future.
Earlier, on April 18, the first charter flight arranged by LuLu Group transported about 98 tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables from Tan Son Nhat International Airport to the Middle East.
