Speaking at the event, Mr. Huynh Thanh Su, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Can Tho City, said that Can Tho City currently has about 7,762 hectares of durian, of which more than 4,500 hectares are bearing fruit, with an estimated output of about 50,000 tons in 2025. Expanding the consumption market, especially in the northern provinces, is considered an important direction for the sustainable development of the durian industry, especially in the current difficult export situation.

Mr. Huynh Thanh Su added that the city is aiming to develop brands and geographical indications for durian in potential markets such as China, the United States, the EU and Japan. Therefore, the leaders of the Can Tho Department of Industry and Trade proposed promoting regional linkages, investing in cold storage systems, preliminary processing and deep processing; at the same time, recommending the construction of a unified traceability system to enhance competitiveness.

Mr. Le Ngoc Lan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Trade of Hai Phong City, affirmed that Hai Phong always attaches importance to developing trade along with protecting consumer rights, especially in the field of agricultural products. Organizing the durian festival not only helps consumers access high-quality durian products but also contributes to expanding the consumption market and stabilizing output for Can Tho farmers.

Hai Phong identified this as not only a timely trade promotion activity but also a long-term step in establishing links between production localities and key consumption markets. Hai Phong is ready to accompany Can Tho as well as the provinces in the Western region to expand the distribution channel of goods, especially agricultural products, to contribute to stabilizing the domestic agricultural product supply chain.

All durian products brought to Hai Phong are distributed by Duong Minh Import Export Joint Stock Company (Hai Phong City). At the event, the Company introduced to Hai Phong consumers ripe Ri 6 durian products, selected from gardens that meet VietGAP and Global GAP standards. The Company is committed to price transparency, quality assurance, and continued expansion of its distribution network, and extensive cooperation with the retail system in Hai Phong in the coming time.
