Mr. Duong Tat Tinh, a 70-year-old farmer in Tan Lac, Hoa Binh, Vietnam, has successfully turned around his red grapefruit farming business by establishing a cooperative and obtaining GlobalGAP certification in 2018. This certification has allowed the cooperative to export red grapefruits to Europe, the United States, New Zealand, and is considering Korea and Japan. The cooperative has seen a consistent increase in export volumes to the UK since 2022, with plans to upgrade to a cooperative and seek a recognized irradiation and hot water treatment facility in the North to further reduce costs and increase benefits for the growers.
