Vietnam Airlines will start serving plums grown in the northwestern province of Son La with in-flight meals on flights. The Noi Bai Catering Services Joint Stock Company (NCS) and Vietnam Air Catering Services Joint Stock Company (VINACS) have bought over one ton of the plum to use as dessert for air passengers.
Last year, Son La longan was chosen to serve as dessert on Vietnam Airlines flights, contributing to raising the brand and value of local typical agricultural products. Currently, the province has nearly 85,000 ha of fruit with a yearly output of over 452,000 tons. Specifically, it has over 12,300 ha of plum, producing nearly 90,000 tons yearly. Son La plum is harvested from April to July.
