A ceremony was held in Long Khanh Industrial Zone in southern Dong Nai Province on Wednesday for exporting the first batch of processed fruits to Europe, the Republic of Korea (RoK), Japan, Russia and the Middle East.

Addressing the event, Cao Tien Sy, Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), said Dong Nai has annually exported millions of tonnes of agricultural products to more than 30 countries and territories across the world.

Cashew nuts, coffee, pepper, vegetables and processed fruits are the province’s key products, he said, adding that Russia and the RoK are its main export markets.
