Hanoi's first late-ripening longan batch to be exported to US
Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development held a conference to promote the consumption of Hanoi’s first late-ripening longan varieties on September 3.
Hanoi's late-ripening longan variety is one of fruit trees with high economic value, which is harvested from August 25 to September 20. According to the municipal Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, about 1,880 of the 15,161 hectares of fruit trees in Hanoi are under longan trees. Late-ripening longan varieties cover 500 hectares of land with 200 hectares in Quoc Oai and Hoai Duc districts.
90 hectares of late-ripening longan trees have been recognised as meeting standards of the Vietnamese Good Agricultural Practices (VietGAP), the department said, adding that it negotiated with importing countries to facilitate the sale of this type of longan.
At the conference, the department called on participating companies to cooperate in consumpting the late-ripening longan varieties for farmers.
By last April, the US Department of Agriculture granted regional codes for the 18.7-hectare qualified areas managed by the Hoai Duc association of late-ripening longan producers.
Especially, procedures are being processed for the export of Hanoi’s first late-ripening longan batch to the US with a volume of about 500 - 900 kg this September.
The US Department of Agriculture approved the import of fresh longan and lychee from Vietnam in 2014.
The department said favourable conditions are now in place for the local fruit to be shipped to many foreign markets in the coming time.
