Abstract: Report Introduction: Fruits and vegetables are produced year-round in much of Vietnam. But considerable movement from the primary surplus producing areas to the population centers and seasonally deficit provinces is necessary. A very well defined and specialized marketing system has developed to accommodate the assembly and distribution of these products. Almost all fruits and vegetables are consumed fresh, with very small quantities preserved. The purpose for this study was (1) to evaluate the potential for expanding the processing of fruits and vegetables, (2) to recommend ways of improving the fresh marketing of fruits and vegetables, and (3) to evaluate the export potential. It was sponsored by the U.S. Agency for International Development and conducted October 1971 - February 1972.
