Tien Giang province is making great efforts to expand its fruit growing areas that have production codes to serve exports. The country’s largest fruit producing province has 83,000ha under various fruits, including 11 speciality kinds such as durian, dragon fruit, mango, watermelon and jackfruit. To get the codes, farmers must adopt Vietnamese good agricultural practices (VietGAP) or other equivalent standards. Therefore, the province proactively helps them secure the codes for their fruits. It instructs them to grow fruits to high quality standards, including VietGAP and GlobalGAP.
