Tridge summary
Vietnamese consumers have shown a strong preference for Chinese mini persimmons, with initial imports selling out quickly despite the high price, which is 2-3 times higher than that of Vietnamese egg persimmons. These persimmons, which are soft and jelly-like when ripe, are packed in 12-kg boxes or baskets and are primarily grown in China's colder provinces, such as Shandong and Shaanxi. The fruit's popularity is attributed to its unique taste and texture, as well as improvements in preservation and packaging that have allowed for international export. However, concerns have been raised about the need for quality control and traceability, especially with the significant increase in fruit and vegetable imports from China to Vietnam, which reached 700 million USD in the first nine months of the year, a 39% increase from the previous year.
