The Australian Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources visited Vietnam in February, 2018 to inspect, evaluate, and possibly license the import of longan in early 2019.

The Australian Ministry has visited Ben Tre and Hung Yen province. After visiting the longan plantation areas, Australia shall assess whether this Vietnamese fruit can be licensed for exports to Australia from early 2019.
Following the visit, the Australian Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources will prepare an assessment report and draft import conditions. As a result, in addition to litchi and mango, longan may be able to enter this potential market.
Currently, Vietnamese longan has been licensed in many markets, including the US, Japan, South Korea, and the EU, where it meets all safety, uniformity, quality, and quantity requirements. Therefore, longan stands a good chance to be licensed in Australia in the future.
Fresh longan is one of the export fruits with high turnover, Nguyen Huu Dat, secretary general of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Exporters Association said to Tuoi Tre online.
However, along with longan, many other fruits from Vietnam should improve quality, food safety, and hygiene to be exported to foreign markets, Dat added.
In January 1, 2018, vegetable and fruit export turnover to major markets rose sharply to US$383.7 million, increasing by 18.3% over the previous month and by 63.3% compared to January 2017, according to the latest statistics from the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
In addition to China, which saw a sharp increase in demand due to the Tet holiday, export turnover to many fastidious markets such as the US, Japan, and South Korea is also high, resulting in bright prospects for Vietnamese fruits in 2018.
Last year, fruit and vegetable exports set a record of US$3.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 40%. Vietnamese fruits and vegetables are sold in 40 countries and territories around the world, according to the report of the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
