Nam Roi grapefruit set to penetrate the US

Evergreen Trading Inc. has agreed to work with the My Hoa Nam Roi Grapefruit Co-operative in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long to export the fruit to the US, Tuoi Tre reported.

The Wisconsin-based firm will seek permission from the US Department of Agriculture and deal with quarantine and food safety agencies to bring Nam Roi grapefruit to US supermarkets, the newspaper quoted My Hoa Co-operative Chairman Tran Van Sang.

The co-operative will be in charge of setting up areas for planting the specialty fruit and completing export procedures on the Vietnam side.
