TIỀN GIANG — The Mekong Delta province of  Tiền Giang will implement solutions to be able to export star-apples to the United States in December, the People’s Co妹妹ittee of Tiền Giang said.

At a meeting on Tuesday at the Tiền Giang Department of Agriculture and Rural Department, the People’s Co妹妹ittee, the department and enterprises discussed solutions on producing star-apples for export to the US.

After the US Department of Agriculture officially licensed Vietnamese star-apples to be imported into the country in September  二0 一 七, Tiền Giang has started to complete procedures on exporting Lò Rèn star-apples to the US, according to the department.

In addition, Tiền Giang has also implemented technical solutions to improve output and quality of star-apple gardens.

The province has some  四 六0ha of star-apples, declining by six times compared with the previous five years. Therefore, to be able to export the first batch of star-apples to the US market in mid-December  二0 一 七, Phạm Anh Tuấn, deputy chairman of the provincial People’s Co妹妹ittee, asked the department to call on farmers to cooperate with enterprises in pilot production of star-apples on a total area of  四 三ha in the co妹妹unes of Hữu Đạo, Mỹ Long, Long Hưng and Bàn Long in Châu Thành District.

At present, farmers have applied strictly advanced cultivation techniques and an improved irrigation system, used reasonably good fertilisers and pesticides, and obtained the production registration certificate according to Global GAP or Viet GAP.

Trading enterprises must have packing and pre-processing houses and the post-harvest preservation process which are necessary to meet the requirements of food hygiene and safety.

In particular, businesses need to cooperate with farmers to meet US standards to protect the reputation of Vietnamese fruits.

Tuấn also asked the department and local authorities to actively support enterprises in terms of legal and administrative procedures and techniques as a requirement for having the first batches of provincial star-apples exported to the US. — VNS
