VTV.vn - The US Department of Agriculture (USDA)’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) has proposed allowing the import of fresh mangoes from Vietnam into the US.

The move is expected to clear the way for the sixth Vietnamese fruit to be exported to the US from the end of this year, after dragon fruit, rambutan, lychee, longan and star apple.

As a condition of entry, Vietnamese fresh mangoes would have to undergo strict checks, including orchard inspections, irradiation treatment, and port of entry inspection.

Vietnam expects to ship about 3,000 tonnes of fresh mangoes to the US every year, roughly equivalent to 1 percent of the US’s mango imports.
