In early 2023, Xin Man district in Ha Giang province, Vietnam, successfully exported its first batch of 18 tons of pickled radishes to Japan. This achievement is the result of a radish growing program initiated in 2021 by Vietnam Misaki Co., Ltd. The program's objective is to cultivate high-value crops, generate employment, and alleviate poverty in the district. The product has been well-received in the Japanese market, leading to plans for future exports of other products like ginger root, palanquin root, and bamboo shoots.
