Griffith University has been helping farmers and co-operatives in Binh Thuan Province train for export expansion to Australia. The province has historically concentrated on the export and distribution of dragon fruit across South-East Asia, but key stakeholders are now looking to expand to wholesalers and supermarkets in Melbourne, Australia.
The program provides practical training, with activities designed specifically to assist the Binh Thuan traders to supply Australian export markets. Associate Professor Roberts discusses the economic, social, and environmental considerations and draws on her agribusiness expertise to help build the capacity of the local stakeholders and improve their development skills.
