Cao Phong oranges from the northern province of Hoa Binh are now officially put up for sale in the UK. This marks the return of this specialty to the global market after over 40 years. The nearly 7 tons of Cao Phong orange, exported via the official channel by the Hoa Binh-based RYB Joint Stock Company, met strict quality, food safety, and origin standards, including passing the testing for nearly 900 chemical elements in plant protection products.
The fruit is sold at the Longdan supermarket chain in London and some other cities in the UK. It is also distributed to other local wholesalers and retailers of Asian products. In February, Longdan, the biggest importer of Vietnamese goods in the UK, also purchased over 5 tons of the red-flesh pomelo farmed in Tan Lac district and 11 tons of the Dien pomelo farmed in Yen Thuy district of Hoa Binh province. This was also the first time the citrus of the two varieties cultivated in Hoa Binh had been officially exported to the UK.
