Also participating in this fair, the Binh Thuan Dragon Fruit Association has set up a booth displaying products such as fresh dragon fruit and processed products made from dragon fruit. The goal is to explore and connect with the international fruit and vegetable market and seek opportunities for the development of the dragon fruit industry in Binh Thuan province.

Mr. Huynh Canh – Chairman of the Binh Thuan Dragon Fruit Association, who directly participated in the fair, stated that the fair attracted about 20,000 visitors. For Bình Thuận dragon fruit, the market is increasingly shifting, with the majority currently exported to China (80%), but is gradually shifting towards India, Thailand, Hong Kong, and especially to more demanding markets such as Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the United States. Following this development direction, promoting the image of dragon fruit widely will give the dragon fruit market the advantage to expand and not be completely dependent on the Chinese market in the future.
