Nguyen Thi Hong Thu, Director of the Ben Tre-based Chanh Thu fruit export company, although the firm has successfully exported rambutan to the US, it has faced obstacles in building a “Ben Tre rambutan” trademark.
She attributed the difficulties to small-scale production of local farmers as well as their different production techniques and experience, which lead to a difference in quality of rambutan. It is hard for the company to reach large orders with foreign partners, she said.
Currently, Ben Tre has made a plan to build a trademark for seven local products – coconut, green-skin grapefruit, rambutan, ornamental flower, beef, pork and sea shrimp.
