Vietnam earned $46.5 million from fruit and vegetable exports to Australia in the seven months of this year, up over 45 percent year-on-year. According to Nguyen Phu Hoa, head of the Vietnam Trade Office in Australia, the agency has actively implemented digitization of business support activities in the context of COVID-19 pandemic, including launching an application to connect Vietnamese businesses and localities with Australia partners, and organizing large-scale online exhibitions.
It has also supported Vietnamese enterprises in promoting their products among the Vietnamese community in Australia, and called on overseas Vietnamese to use made-in-Vietnam goods. These joint efforts of the office and domestic exporters have turned out positive results.
The export turnover of dragon fruit - one of four fresh fruits of Vietnam allowed to export to Australia, hit nearly $29 million, up over 84 percent year-on-year.
