The Albanese Labor Government has secured a horticulture trade deal with Vietnam. Plums will be the new fruit added to the existing stone fruit package, which also includes peaches and nectarines.

The Albanese government said the deal is part of a two-way agricultural market access agreement that provides Australian plums access to Vietnam and Vietnamese passionfruit to Australia.
