Vietnamese dragon fruits allowed to be imported to Taiwan
By Anh Kiet 13:22, 2016/04/13
On April 12, the Plant Protection Department (PPD), under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, announced that Taiwan has agreed to reopen its doors to Vietnamese white flesh dragon fruit, since June 1, 2016.


The news was welcomed by dragon fruit growers and exporters as Taiwan is a promising market for the fruit. The PPD is cooperating with the Bureau of Animal and Plant Inspection and Quarantine (BAPHIQ) to invite Taiwanese professionals to Viet Nam and provide them with information about the processing and exports of dragon fruits.

Earlier, Viet Nam exported around 10,000 tons of dragon fruits to Taiwan a year but Taiwan did not allow importing Vietnamese dragon fruits since 2008, reasoning a type of fly that eats guava could inhabit in the fruit and enter Taiwan. The PPD is working with authorized bodies to complete procedures for exporting the fruit. When the market opens, Vietnam may ship more than 13,000 tonnes of dragon fruit to Taiwan per year. Vietnam exported over one million tonnes of dragon fruit in 2015.
