In addition, the locality has closely coordinated with import-export businesses to build brands, promote and maintain them. Currently, Son La plums are exported to many countries; mangoes, longan and dragon fruit have also been exported to South Korea, Japan, Mongolia… so the locality is planning to export other products such as strawberries and other products in 2024,” Mr. Cong informed.
