Johann Albano, Dole’s vice president for Asian business development, hailed the new partnership saying it would “further strengthen our position as one of the leading providers of quality bananas in the Vietnamese market.”
U&I became the first banana producer in the country to be certified for global good agricultural practices, he said.
Dole started selling its products in Vietnam in 2009. Besides fresh fruits, it also provides canned and dried fruits and other agricultural products.
