The Animal and Plant Quarantine Service of Korea (APQA) has approved the import of fresh Vietnamese pomelo, making it the third Vietnamese fresh fruit to enter the Korean market. This comes as the US has also opened its market to Vietnamese coconuts. The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association is optimistic about the potential of exporting fresh coconut and frozen durian to China, which could generate up to $500 million in revenue annually.
