An online conference was held by Vietnam's Trade Promotion Department to discuss the decrease in Chinese imports of Vietnamese dragon fruits due to China's cultivation of the same fruit. The department highlighted the need for Vietnamese farmers and businesses to focus on growing high-quality dragon fruits rather than expanding cultivation areas, given the competition from China and other suppliers. The department also emphasized the importance of traceability, quality, and hygiene standards, and suggested diversifying value-added dragon fruit products to expand consumption channels and reduce seasonal pressure. It recommended that localities and businesses prepare supplies to meet expected increased import demand at the end of 2021, due to anticipated control of the COVID-19 epidemic.
