Vietnam is one of the world's leading producers of seedless limes. The country has such a great productive capacity that 70% of this fruit must be commercialized in the international market. "In our case, we can harvest up to 100,000 tons per year," said Anna Tran, of the Mi Na Import Export Company Limited. Most of these limes come from the regions of Long An and Tien Giang, in the south of the country.
The countries of the Middle East, the Maldives, India, Dubai, Korea, and China are the most interested in Vietnamese seedless limes, which can be found in the market for US $12 per kilo. "We know that we are not the only producers, Brazil is also a great producer of limes and a competition for us," Tran added.
