UK Retailer Licenses Vietnamese Dragon Fruit Supplier
The Bao Thanh Co. has become the first Vietnamese company licensed by British retailer Tesco to supply dragon fruit for its 2,000 supermarkets around the globe.
Bao Thanh’s export manager, William Ying, said the Tesco licensed its Nature’s Choice label to his company after one year of applying Tesco’s growing and packing standards to Bao Thanh’s operations in central Binh Thuan province.
Ying said his firm will be able to supply the dragon fruit under its Ticay brand.
Bao Thanh, which holds GlobalGAP and other international certificates for dragon fruit production, was founded in 1996 and is headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City.
It was also recognized to meet growing and packing standards set by the U.S.’s Department of Agriculture. (Young People)
