Mr. Phan Quoc Nam - Sales Director of Blue Ocean JSC said that the first batch of passion fruit from Vietnam exported to Australia weighed 1.5 tons.
This is the result of efforts in negotiation, market opening, and close coordination between the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Australian Ministry of Agriculture.
Passion fruit becomes the 5th fruit officially exported to Australia, after mango, longan, lychee and dragon fruit.
Meanwhile, Ms. Pham Thi Ngoc Thach - General Director of Blue Ocean JSC said, "The construction of a processing plant in Lam Dong aims to optimize the supply chain from the raw material area to production, supplying the domestic market and export."
Blue Ocean JSC officially exported 1.5 tons of passion fruit to Australia and became the first unit to export this item to Australia.
Ms. Pham Thi Ngoc Thach spoke at the ceremony.
The frozen fruit processing factory in Phu Son commune, Lam Ha district (Lam Dong province) has a total area of 10,000 m2 with an advanced technology system. The factory is capable of producing and supplying the market with over 10,000 tons of products per year.
The products are processed from advantageous agricultural products of Lam Dong province, neighboring Central Highlands provinces and the Mekong Delta region such as durian, passion fruit, rambutan, mango, dragon fruit, etc.
All are processed through a quick freezing process and packaged immediately after harvest, helping to preserve the full flavor, freshness and natural nutritional value.
Blue Ocean JSC representative also said that with technology and closed production lines operated according to international standards on food safety and hygiene such as HACCP and BRCGS, the company's products meet the increasingly strict demands of major markets such as the United States, Japan, Korea, Australia, and the EU.
In particular, the Chinese market is full of potential in terms of consumption demand as well as geographical location, giving Vietnam a huge advantage in transporting goods.

Present at the ceremony to export the first batch of passion fruit to the Australian market, Mr. Pham S - Vice Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee said that the agricultural production area of Lam Dong province reached more than 388 thousand hectares.
Of which, the high-tech agricultural production area accounts for more than 21%; the fruit tree area is more than 40 thousand hectares, with a total output of about 600 thousand tons; passion fruit alone, the whole province has about 900 hectares, with a peak of more than 1,200 hectares.
However, Lam Dong's processed products are still modest. The opening of a frozen fruit processing factory by Blue Ocean JSC opens up new opportunities for farmers and companies in forming a production - processing - consumption chain.
Therefore, Blue Ocean JSC needs to review the raw material growing areas of Lam Dong province to build a production - processing - consumption chain; build a green factory and the company becomes a circular agricultural economic model.
Lam Dong province commits to support Blue Ocean JSC to participate in cooperation and trade promotion trips to expand the market.
