The Noi Bai Catering Services Joint Stock Company (NCS) and Vietnam Air Catering Services Joint Stock Company (VINACS) have bought over one ton of the plum to use as dessert for air passengers.
Last year, Son La longan was chosen to serve as dessert on Vietnam Airlines flights, contributing to raising the brand and value of local typical agricultural products.
Vice Chairman of Son La provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Cong said that the production, collection, and preservation process of Son La's key agricultural products in general, and plum in particular, ensure the requirements in quality, food safety, and others for domestic and export markets. The presence of Son La plum in meals served on Vietnam Airlines flights helps affirm the quality and brand of Son La's agricultural products.
Currently , the province has nearly 85,000 ha of fruit with a yearly output of over 452,000 tons. Specifically, it has over 12,300 ha of plum, producing nearly 90,000 tons yearly. Son La plum is harvested from April to July. In 2021, the plum was granted a certificate of trademark registration with plum grown in Pu Nhi commune (Song Ma district), Moc Chau district, and Phieng Khoai commune (Yen Chau district).
