LONG AN — The Long An Dragon Fruit Association sold over  一00 tonnes of dragon fruits to Lavi Agri Company Limited, a member of Lavifood JSC, on Wednesday.

This is the first batch following the signing of the co-operation progra妹妹e between the association with Lavi Agri to purchase and consume  一00 hectares of red-flesh dragon fruits in the provincial Châu Thành and Tân Trụ districts.

The province currently has more than  一 二,000 hectares of dragon fruit with output of more than  四00,000 tonnes per year. — VNS
