The 2007-08 harvest saw Russia have so far imported one tonne of star apples of the Lo Ren trademark grown in Vinh Kim village, Chau Thanh district in the Mekong Delta province of Tien Giang .
Deputy Head of the Lo Ren Star Apple Cooperative Le Van Son said he has received orders for the fruit from many other countries. Singapore , for example, has ordered a container of 14 tonnes.
“But my cooperative is unable to meet the demand,” he said.
Son’s business will ship another batch weighing 92 kg of star apple to Russia on January 26.
The star apple of the Lo Ren trademark is growing on some 2,230 ha of land in 13 villages of Chau thanh district. The fruit yields between 13 and 15 tonnes per ha, thus producing some 22,000 tonnes a year. (VNA)
