Mangoes, longans, lychees, dragon fruit, rambutans, star apples, and pomelos are the seven different kinds of Vietnamese fruit which have been granted the green light to enter the US market so far.

Vietnam holds huge potential for fruit production, but food safety requirements may be among the major challenges to the country’s export of the products.

A number of fruits grown in Vietnam have successfully entered high value and challenging markets and the country is constantly seeking ways to beef up its economic power via fruit exports.

In mid-June, during the peak of the fourth Covid-19 wave, up to 100,000 tons of lychee sourced from Bac Giang Province, Vietnam’s largest pandemic center, were sold. 

The first consignments of litchis grown in Hai Duong province shipped to Singapore hit the newspapers.

Here are some of the luxury fruits which can be purchased in Vietnam, albeit at high prices.
