Vietnam fruits are many but difficult to export

Update: 7/30/2014

Fruits mainly for domestic consumption. 
"Many fruits and Vietnam have better quality than foreign, but after 10 days of packing, soft state is no longer able to," Tran Thi Minh Van, Head of import and export company import and export of vegetables III (VEGETEXCO) comments. 
 
She said Van, fruits preserved by the State should retain freshness, color and quality in 3-4 months. Vietnam fruit to take to Germany by air, freight $ 3.5 / kg, while fruit preserved by the water so close to the container, transported by ship, but takes more time but charges cheap, quality is guaranteed. If transported by ship from Germany VN to lose $ 3,800 freight / container 40 feet (about 15 tons), calculated only costs about 25 cents / kg, 14 times cheaper than shipping by air. 
 
Due to poor preservation technology, high shipping fee, so these types of specialty products such as Nam Roi pomelo, Hoa Loc mango, Chu mango, dragon fruit, lychee ... excellent quality, but still difficult to export border. 
 
Fruit processing industry exports mainly concentrated pineapple plants. The capacity of the country is composed of 24 lines canned, condensed and frozen, with a total capacity of 100,000 tons / year. So far the only country exporting food company Dong Giao ensure 65% of raw materials, the factory was operating only 20-30% of design capacity. Mr. Chu Thanh Khoi, Director of Food exports Tan Binh, said: "Since the pineapple processing exports less profitable plants should now have switched to processed shrimp, squid and octopus." 
 
The paradox is that the demand for processed pineapple on the international market are high, but the hard sell pineapple farmers, where there is some risk to cut down. For example, Bac Giang province harvested 8,500 tons this year, the province in which the plant has contracted to buy 3,500 tons, but so far sold 470 tonnes of fruit because unqualified.
