We export our dragon fruit worldwide

We comply with any import regulations

Viet Fruit Trading is a trusted exporter of premium Vietnamese dragon fruit, supplying fresh, carefully packed fruit to buyers from Australia, New Zealand, India, the United Arabic Emirates, China and more, while meeting all applicable export and import regulations. We combine farm-level quality control, certified treatment and packing, and tight logistics to deliver safe, traceable fruit that meets each market’s phytosanitary, food-safety and labeling requirements.

For every export we confirm the importing country’s entry conditions (acceptable disinfestation treatments such as VHT (vapor heath treatment), permitted packaging, and required permits. Every shipment is accompanied by the phytosanitary certificate, treatment certificate/logs, packing list, commercial invoice, and any import permits or certificates required by the buyer.

Vapor Heath Treatment (VHT)

Vapor Heat Treatment is a phytosanitary process used to eliminate fruit-fly eggs and larvae that may be present in fresh produce. Instead of chemicals, it uses warm, humid air to gently heat the fruit, ensuring complete pest control while maintaining excellent taste and freshness.

The fruit is exposed to warm, humid air inside a certified VHT chamber. The temperature is gradually increased until the fruit’s core reaches around 46.5°C–47°C, and is held for a specific time to ensure complete disinfestation.

Shipping and freight

We understand that every customer and every market has unique logistics needs. That’s why we, via our logistic partners, offer flexible and reliable shipping options — by airfreight, ocean freight, and trucking — to deliver our fresh dragon fruit safely and efficiently to destinations around the world.

By truck

Within Vietnam and neighboring countries, we use refrigerated trucking to ensure timely and temperature-safe delivery.
