Three tonnes of frozen avocado from Vietnam’s Central Highlands arrived in Australia on Tuesday, marking a new step in expanding overseas markets for the fruit.

The shipments were sold out to local distributors and will soon hit the shelves in Australia, said Uu Dam Vietnam company, the exporter.

The Vietnam Trade Office in Australia said Vietnam’s avocado boasts huge potential in the Australian market thanks to its competitive prices and high quality.

The Embassy of Vietnam in Australia will join hands with national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines to roll out a program aiming at building brand and boosting exports of frozen avocado to Australia.
