Tridge summary

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam is seeking to find a market for 300,000 tons of dragon fruit due to China's border closure, with India identified as a potential market despite its distance and export policy unpredictability. Only about 1% of dragon fruit exports are to China, but the potential in India is not yet fully realized, as the country has a large population and a preference for Vietnamese dragon fruit.
