Việt Nam boasts for valuable fruits |
Deputy
PM Nguyễn Sinh Hùng gave nod to the organization of the event titled "First
Việt Nam Fruit Festival.”
The
festival, with 750 stalls for hundreds of fruits from all corners of Việt Nam, is
expected to spotlight images of Vietnamese fruits, farmers, scientists, and
enterprises.
Thanks
to its climatic advantages, Việt Nam boasts for its abundance of
tropical fruits, including pineapple, grape-fruits, mango, and pitaya.
According
to the General Customs Office, the export turnover of processed fruits in the
first ten months last year was US $58 million, up 24.6% against the same period
of 2008.
Vietnamese
fruits are now available in more than 50 countries and territories all around
the world.
Việt
Nam
plans to earn US $760 million from exporting fruits in 2010 and US $1.2 billion
in 2020.
