– Fresh jackfruit adds a new protocol-based fruit category for Vietnam, alongside the broader shift from area expansion toward quality, added value and sustainable development.
– For buyers, fresh jackfruit sourcing should be assessed as a protocol-managed supply chain, not only as a seasonal fruit purchase.
Before selecting a Vietnamese fresh jackfruit supplier, buyers should verify:
– Orchard and packing-facility registration status accepted by the destination market
– Traceability from orchard, harvest date and receiving lot to packed carton
– GAP, IPM, field-sanitation and pest-monitoring records
– Packing-area hygiene, material separation, fruit cleaning and grading controls
– Quarantine sampling, phytosanitary documentation, label accuracy and ISPM 15 compliance if wooden packaging is used
