The Plant Protection Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam has announced the approval of passion fruit exports to Australia. The fruit, known for its high quality, will need to meet Australian biosecurity requirements, including irradiation treatment for pest control. The department is also working towards exporting Vietnamese grapefruit and Australian blueberries. The agricultural trade between Vietnam and Australia has seen significant growth, nearly doubling in the last two years with a turnover of about 65 billion AUD, making Australia the second largest trading partner of Vietnam in agricultural exports.
