Vietnam is set to start exporting pomelos to the US within the next 60 days, with the country reviewing Vietnam's coconut records as part of the process. This comes as Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports to the US have seen a significant increase, reaching US$203.2 million in the first 11 months of 2021, a 33.2% rise from the previous year. The country has already been granted permission to export six types of fresh fruit to the US, with efforts underway to include green-skinned pomelos. Despite the challenges of competing with similar products from other countries and high transportation and storage costs, the US market presents a significant opportunity due to its large customer base and diverse distribution system.
