Dragon Fruit Flavor Aloe Vera Juice

Dragon Fruit Jelly

According to researchers, in spite of becoming the leading dragon fruit exporter of
the world, Vietnam has not fully exploited the potential of this kind of agricultural
product yet. The production output is plentiful but the rate of export meeting standard is
not high. Lots of products grade 3 which do not meet the model, are rejected in sizes and
mainly provided in the domestic markets or retailed at the very cheap price.This is a great
waste. Therefore, there is also much producing potential from the bulk of these rejected
fruits (in the actual quality of the dragon fruit is not affected). One of the potentials is
juice production into cans for fast drink. The canned drinks are the popular type of
beverages in foreign markets, especially Europe and America (the United States is the
third largest importers of dragon fruit Vietnam).

Experiments dragon fruit juice products
With the desire to help dragon fruit growers feel assured, Department of Science
and Technology of Binh Thuan in cooperation with Rong Xanh Co., Ltd. - The first
business of Binh Thuan province tested processing fruit juice from dragon fruits
successfully. That's three major product lines: Dragon Fruit Jelly, Pure Dragon Fruit
juice, Dragon Fruit Flavor Aloe Vera Juice. Currently, our products are sold in
supermarket systems such as Citimart, Satra, and Maximax, exported to Laos, Cambodia
(at average per month export 40 thousands of products to the market). Owning the first

and unique product, Apart from the product distribution into the domestic markets and
Southeast Asia region, Rong Xanh Co., Ltd is actively seeking partners and plans to
export this product to foreign markets, especially the U.S. market where there is always
full potential for the fast drink market.
-

Define target market:
Currently, Apart from providing for the domestic markets, each day Vietnam can

export 1,000 tonnes of dragon fruits to foreign markets. Until now, there are 32 provinces
and cities in Vietnam where about 25 thousand hectares of dragon fruits are planted with
the output of 460 thousand tons / year, the export turnover reaching 150 million USD.
The quality of Vietnam dargon fruits has met the criteria and and rigorous
requirements of many demanding markets. Vietnam dragon fruit is the first kind to be
granted export codes and licensed to the U.S. market. In 2012, Binh Thuan dragon fruit
has been granted certificate of trademark protection by United States Patent and
Trademark Office (USPTO).
As reported by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in the first 5 months of 2013,
dragon fruit exports reached 130.6 thousand tons export quota reached 78.9 million,
increased 3.7% in volume and 241, % in quota over the same period. Apart from the
traditional export markets such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, the Netherlands. Recently,
Dragon fruit has also been exported to the new markets such as Spain, the Philippines,
Norway, India and Qata. For the new markets with not much high quotas, but it’s the first
step to create diversity in the market structure, gradually reduce dependence on some key
markets.

According to the statistical report, the population of the United States is about 314

million people in which the Vietnamese Americans is 1, 8 million. Currently, Vietnam
agricultural products such as cashew nuts, coffee, seafood (shrimp, Tra fish), pepper,
rubber and fruits such as dragon fruit, avocado, mango, guava, rambutan...are more and
more popular in the United State.Not only Vietnamese Americans but also the natives are
also attracted by Vietnamese agricutual products. Vietnam is one of the top 15 countries
who export the largest amount of agricultural products to the US market. This is the
prerequisite confirmed an import market potential for agricultural commodities,
Vietnam's seafood.
Rong Xanh company also found that, among the Vietnamese community in the
United States, the highest concentration in the state of California and in this state, the
Vietnamese people in the city of San Jose's population accounts for 9.2% statewide . So
they came into the U.S. market, the company identified immediate enlist the support of
the Vietnamese community in San Jose in particular as well as in the state of California to
"pedal" before you can enter the full U.S. market integrity. Like other products, when
exported into any public market, the company will also need support from the distributors
that present on this market. Therefore, the company will initially deploy distributed in
supermarkets. The supermarkets are:
 Firstly, Thuan Phat supermarket chain of Vietnamese. Thuan Phat is a supermarket
system including 15 markets (12 markets in California, 2 markets at Las Vegas and 1
market at Dallas Texas). Appeared in Monterey Park, California in 1993, leaders of
Thuan Phat all have large knowledge of food so a special product like dragon fruit juice
surely gets a support and concern from Thuan Phat.
 Secondly, Walmart Supermarket system. This is a very big supermarket system in
the United State. Walmart with its large turnover is currently the leading enterprise of the
top 500 biggest enterprises in the world. Founded in 1969, this supermarket system is
present at most of the US streets or cities and is the most ideal partner for any retailers to
enter the US market. It’s difficult to convince Walmart, but currently Rong Xanh
Company has a lot of advantages to do this successfully, by the following reasons:
- Walmart (together with Kroger) are the two newly licensed enterprises for
Purchase of Vietnam Goods. There are many items of Vietnam which are present at

Walmart supermarkets including dragon fruit products.

4


- Walmart is currently paying special attention to Vietnamese products and
desires to have typical products of Vietnam. A special product like dragon fruit juice is
surely an object which can not be ignored.
- The existing products of Rong Xanh Company with packing model of 10ml
PP (Polypropylene resin) cups and 250ml cans are suitable products to be sold in the
supermarkets. A special but cheap product will be very potential and easy to consume.
Currently, Business Association of High Quality Vietnam products work with
leaders of Walmart in Vietnam on procurement manners and criteria of Walmart. This is a
great chance of Rong Xanh Company to work with this large partner.
-

Competitive advantage:
Currently China is still the largest export market for Vietnam dragon fruits,

accounting for 70.9% of the total export dragon fruit quota. The United States is still one
of the three large import markets of Vietnam dragon fruit. Also due to being planted in
accordance with international standards so recently the dragon fruit export quota to the
EU has reincreased again.
Although the dragon fruit is also grown in many countries in the world, but with a
natural preference, climate, geology, the Binh Thuan dragon always have high export
value because of its attraction in the shape, color, taste and nutrition. This fruit is also
suitable for vegetarians, those with high blood pressure, so the dragon can speak very
well for the treatment and health promotion for people.

Anticipated sales, profits and market share:
Initially, the company identified the object should be concerned that the

Vietnamese-American community in the city of San Jose, California, this is a niche
market potential operators should be concerned, they are who has known the dragon fruit

taste and sense of taste this fruit, as well as the origin of Vietnam, it would get the support
from our customers and it will be a great opportunity for the Company's products have a
place when I first arrived in the U.S. market.
However, since this is a new product, entering a market "difficult" as the U.S.
market should the Company not aim too high in terms of revenue, profit and market share
in the first year.

But this is just the expected level of sales targets, depending on the "response" of
the market as well as business results in the first year, the company will take steps to
adjust accordingly.

2.Market and Situation Analysis: SWOT Analysis
-

Strength:

 The first strength of Rong Xanh Company is its product. As the first product to
appear in the market, the special product of much medical properties can be a good
breakthrough which helps Rong Xanh to enter the market successfully. Furthermore, no
direct competitors will help Rong Xanh to become “unique” in the dragon fruit juice
market.
 Secondly, the manufacturing factory of Rong Xanh Company are built in
compliance with HACCP Standard of America, which helps the products of Rong Xanh
to meet the strict standards of America
 Thirdly, the abundant material source of Vietnam makes a foundation for the
company development. Currently there are a quite large number of dragon fruits which
are rejected due to not meet the aesthetic standards for export and sales off with very
cheap price. This is the large and cheap source of material to help the company to reduce
the production cost and to produce with high yield. At present, the market price of
Dragon fruit jelly is 4.500 dong per product and Dragon Fruit Flavor Aloe Vera Juice is
8.000 dong/per can. This is a cheap price for this nutritious product.

7


-

Weaknesses:

 The greatest weakness of Rong Xanh Company is that its products have not been
granted the import certificate into the U.S yet. The company should immediately

implement registration for Certificate of product quality and worldwide brand protection.
This is the passport for export to the U.S. and to consumers.
 Secondly, about the product capacity. At present, the company has just achieved
productivity of 15.000 dragon fruit jelly and 5.000 cans each day.
-

Opportunities: There are many opportunities for Rong Xanh Company in the US
market

 Firstly, as demonstated above, America is one of the top countries in consuming
refreshing drinks and fruit juice in the world. The US market is an open one and chances
are always available to all companies.
 Secondly, Vietnam dragon fruits as well as other agricultural products are very
popular in America. Vietnam rose to be one of the top 15 countries in exporting the most
agricultural products to the US market. Many agricultural products of Vietnam such as
cashew nuts, coffee, seafood (shrimp, Tra fish), pepper and fruit become everyday food
of American families now. At present, the amounts of dragon fruit export to the US
market are more and more increasing which is a chance for products from dragon fruit
juice to develop in this market.
 Thirdly, more and more America consumers choose the products which have high
quality and are good for health at moderate amounts. According to Nutraingredientsusa.com, in 2009, sales of food products and good –for-health beverages have a record of
143 billions USD and are more and more increasing. A product which is rich in nutrients
and has many medical effects,combined with Aloe Vera( a plant with high medicinal
properties have been widespread and stems from the U.S. market) and seaweed made
from pure fresh fruits without doping and low in sugar, It will surely get the special
attention of consumers.
 Fourthly, there is a great number of Vietnamese living in America, more than 1.8
million people. This is the top potential market as well as an important bridge to to bring
products to the natives.
 Finally, Chances of Dragon fruit juice are very great because at present, Dragon

fruit juice is a unique product in the market. There is no internal competition.
-

Threats:

8


 The first thing to mention is rigorous and difficult regulations of the US market.
Not only the products from Vietnam. But also all other products even from Europe are
subject to the strict regulations on food hygiene and safety of America. Especially, many
new more stringent regulations which are applied for food imported into the U.S. market
is expected to take effect this year and in 2013. The U.S. government is tightening food
hygience and safety by releasing FDA Food Safety Modernization Act - FSMA. This is
the law signed by President Obama on January 4 th, 2011. By 2016, the provisions of this
new law will have been enacted or promulgated fully, but curently each part of the
amendment laws is being enacted gradually and effective immediately, including a
number of provisions will be valid in 2013. This is a huge challenge for Vietnam
products. Although production in accompliance with HACCP standards, but it’s still
required that Rong Xanh company must have carried out very carefully all the output
control stages of products to prevent products from not meeting the standards. Every
year, about 600 inspections held by the United States shows the difficulty of the product
in the entry and exist in the U.S. market. The anti-dumping lawsuits in the recent years
have been one of the great lessons of Vietnam products in the United States.
 Dragon Fruit Juice is a worldwide totally new product, which is considered as an
advantage but great challenge for the entry of products into the market and being popular
among consumers
 The final thing is to mention the competitiveness of other alternative products.
American consumers still prefer gas drinks. Despite the fact that the trend of fruit juice is
rising but the fruit juice still

occupies a small proportion than other drinks.

Furthermore, fruit juice is a product that has been manufactured in the U.S. for a long
time with numerous categories. A new product is required to find the exact target market
and the most suitable marketing strategies so that it can develop in the most competitive
world markets
3.Market Segmentation and Customer Analysis

Domestic Product (GDP) in 2012 is about 15,685 billion USD, acounting for 20% GDP

agricultural products such as rubber, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, shrimp, fish ... suddenly
increased in volume in the U.S. market. Typically seafood and maritime products in 2011

Act (FSMA) newly issued by the government. Accordingly, in 2012, the United States
will carry out the very strict test procedures for commodities of all countries when
exported to this market, including agricultural products, food and beverages. Under the

FSMA, U.S. Department of Agriculture would have the authority to order checks or
withdraw products exported to the United States if not made quality assurance and charge
for all product exporters.

litres /person/year, followed by the U.S. and Germany. In each region, Consumption of

Looking at these statistics, it can be said that United States is an extremely

potential for beverage products. For fruit juice, Unites States ranks only after Canada
with 42, 8 litre/year at average, accounting for 1/5 beverage proportion of United States
totally.There is a big chance to enter this market as well as a great challenge if there are
many competitors.
As of dragon fruit, currently the United States also has planted 500ha of dragon
fruits in Haiwaii; however, United States still must import Dragon fruits because of
higher and higher demand of Amercian consumers and Vietnam dragon fruit still is a
famous product in the market. Despite only occupying 3,1% the export amounts of
Vietnam dragon fruit, last year the export output of dragon fruit to the US market
increased up to 51%. The quality of Vietnam dragon fruit has met the criteria and
rigorous requirements of this demanding market as the first kind of Vietnam fruit was

11


granted export code, permit to the US market. In 2012, Drangon fruit of Binh Thuan
province was issued Certificate of trademark protection by the US Department of patent
and trademark. Dai Duc Cooperative Board of Planting Red-fleshed dragon fruit in Duoc
My commune, Cang Long district (Tra Vinh) has signed an export contract of 30 tons of
Dragon Fruit to the US market in 2014 at the price of 30.000 - 35.000 VND/kg which is
8.000 VND/kg higher than the local sales price.
In October, 2013, through a Ho Chi Minh enterprise, this cooperative society also
exported nearly 3 tons of red-fleshed dragon fruits to the US market. It can be said that
Vietnam dragon fruit trademark in the US market is very good. Nevertheless, despite high
increase of dragon fruit export, there are still competitors. At present, a lot of countries in
the world are planting dragon fruits. Like in the United States, there are 500 ha of dragon
fruits are planted in Hawai and in Japan, Dragon fruits are planted in Okinawa island,
Israel also has about 500ha of dragon fruits. In the coming time, dragon fruits are going
to be planted in Taiwan and permitted exporting to Japan market. Thailand also sent an
application of permit its irradiation dragon fruit to enter the US market.Therefore, If

Vietnam dragon fruits do not overcome the above-mentioned problems, it will be put in a
strong competition and in risk of losing this market.
As its own non-alcoholic beverages, for the US market, US people still prefer
sweetened soft drinks such as Coca-cola, Pepsi…and fruit juice only occupies 1/5 the
market.Therefore, Introducing a totally new trademark to the US maket is really a great
challenge. However, Dragon fruit juice is a unique product in the world market only from
Vietnam in general and Rong Xanh Company in particular. Along with the famous Binh
Thuan dragon, if conquering this market successfully, Nearly Rong Xanh will become a
leading company in this product in the US market. Obviously, In terms of prominent
Marketing regulations, this is a chance that can be ignored.

Pricing Strategy:
At present, Price of beverage products United State is about 2-5 USD/per product.

A can of Coke with the retail price is about 2 USD which is much higher than a can of
Dragon fruit juice (8 thousands VND equivalent to 0, 4 USD). Therefore, the price of
products needs to be taken in careful consideration so as not to be much higher than other
refreshment products like Coke, but not too low to avoid doubt about the product quality
and prevent the coerce cases due to anti-dumping laws of the United States . The retail
price proposal of the United States is as follows:

With the above analysis, it can be seen that besides its development in domestic
markets, Rong Xanh Company has potential chances to develop in the US market. With
preliminary plans made as above, we can see partially feasibility of project. Products
from dragon fruits are new, special and combined by and between tastes of Vietnam
peoples and US style of products, combined between beverages and products of medical
properties. Export of dragon fruit juice is not only a chance but also a task of Rong Xanh
Company to enhance trademark of Vietnam Dragon Fruit and take full advantages of this
precious and rare material source as well as expand the output of dragon fruit products. In
the scope of this writing, it can not be given a detailed plan for each item of work as well
as accurate calculation of revenue in order to assess the cost benefit of the project. This is
added when Rong Xanh Company proceeds to develop the project officially.
