Ben Tre green-skin grapefruit is not enough for export.

Unstable grapefruit quality causes key businesses to not proactively accept export orders.

Although quite famous and supplying tens of thousands of tons to the market every year, Ben Tre green-skin pomelos are still struggling with the domestic market. Currently, Ben Tre green-skin pomelos are present in many countries around the world such as Germany, Canada, the Netherlands, Russia, Hong Kong, China... And since the beginning of the year, there have been many more orders from France and Japan.

However, up to now, the product is still mainly consumed domestically. The reason is that the output and quality of grapefruit are unstable, so the main enterprises do not proactively accept export orders.

Ben Tre has nearly 5,000 hectares of green-skinned grapefruit, the largest in the region. Ben Tre is also promoting the movement of gardeners to produce in a cooperative manner, applying the same process to stabilize both quantity and quality and encourage businesses to purchase products for gardeners.

Mr. Nguyen Van Thuong, Deputy Head of the Department of Rural Development of Ben Tre province, said that in the face of fragmented and small-scale production, the provincial agricultural sector has reorganized production and formed a green-skinned grapefruit cooperative. In the immediate future, the cooperative will receive science and technology to properly implement the process and improve product quality./.
