At the forum, delegates assessed that passion fruit is a strategic crop for Gia Lai and the Central Highlands region. However, the passion fruit industry still faces many challenges such as price fluctuations, inconsistent quality standards, a lack of standardized raw material areas, and weak supply chain linkages.

The forum emphasized the urgent need to standardize production processes; strengthen traceability; expand linkages between farmers, cooperatives, and processing businesses; and strongly apply science and technology to meet the standards of demanding markets.
