The Philippines will resume exporting fresh Hass avocados to South Korea later this month, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said Thursday.
Agriculture Senior Undersecretary Domingo Panganiban said the commercial shipment will start by the end of September after Seoul approved the market access for Philippine-grown Hass avocados.
Hass avocadoes have become popular globally as the main nutritional ingredient for salad and sandwiches. To familiarize the Koreans with Philippine-grown avocados, the Philippine government will support promotional activities to increase awareness of consumers and boost exports.—Xinhua
