Vietnamese longan, known locally as "nhãn", is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after tropical fruits in European countries. With its sweet, juicy taste and numerous health benefits, Vietnamese longan is winning over the palates of consumers across the EU, including countries like France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.
1. What Makes Vietnamese Longan Special?
Longan (Dimocarpus longan) is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. Vietnamese longan stands out in the global market due to:
✅ Naturally Sweet & Fragrant Flavor
✅ Firm, Juicy Flesh with Thin Skin
✅ Excellent Post-Harvest Quality & Shelf Life
✅ Grown in Fertile, Pesticide-Controlled Regions of Vietnam
Vietnam is home to several premium longan varieties such as Long longan (Nhãn Lồng) from Hung Yen and Edor longan from the Mekong Delta, all prized for their superior taste and texture.
2. Why European Markets Love Vietnamese Longan
Over the past few years, demand for exotic tropical fruits in Europe has surged, driven by growing interest in healthy, low-calorie, and antioxidant-rich foods. Vietnamese longan perfectly fits this trend.
🔹 Health-Conscious Appeal – Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential minerals
🔹 Convenient Snacking Option – Easy to peel and eat, great for retail
🔹 High Food Safety Standards – Grown under VietGAP/GlobalGAP and exported under strict EU phytosanitary protocols
🔹 Fresh and Frozen Options – Available year-round thanks to frozen supply chains
3. Export Growth & Market Access
Vietnam’s longan exports to the EU have increased steadily in recent years, especially since the EVFTA (EU–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement) has made Vietnamese agricultural goods more accessible.
