In 2020, Vietnam has joined EVFTA which helps to decrease the tariff. This is good news for all agricultural products and passion fruit in particular. Exporting under EVFTA, passion fruit from Vietnam to the EU will be exempted from most taxes. With preferential tariffs, Vietnamese exporters will have an advantage over many other countries.

We have developed partnerships with top Vietnamese suppliers to provide high-quality passion fruit to markets worldwide. Our suppliers mainly come from Gia Lai, Dak Nong, Lam Dong Province. Our suppliers have invested in modern technology for manufacturing. One of the new techniques for frozen fruit production is Individual Rapid Freezing Technology, IQF(Individual Quick Freezing).
