The first batch of Dien pomelos from the northern province of Hoa Binh was exported to the UK on December 12. The batch includes nearly 11 tons of Dien pomelos, produced by farmers in Yen Thuy district’s Ngoc Luong commune. Dien pomelo plantations cover about 2,300 ha, accounting for 45% of the total area in the province. The Yen Thuy district alone is home to more than 800 ha.
In 2019, the National Office of Intellectual Property issued a trademark certificate for Dien pomelo in Yen Thuy district. Of which, 30 ha of Dai Dong Agricultural Cooperative were granted codes and certified as meeting VietGAP standard.
Nguyen Thi Thu Huong, Director of RYN company, which involves in the export, said as the UK is the most demanding market in Europe, the shipment will probably pave the way for the product to become more popular in the world.
