Australia opens door to fresh Vietnamese mango
Australia has given the green light for fresh mango from Vietnam to be imported into the country after years of negotiations, making it the second Vietnamese fruit, after litchi, to be imported into the country.
Vietnam applied for a license to export mango to Australia in 2009, with approval given after meeting requirements on origin, packaging, pest control, and disease.
On the occasion, a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on supporting consumption of Vietnamese agricultural products, including fresh fruits was signed between the trade office and the Vietnam Business Association in Australia.
