People With Nothing Start-up Exporting Food

I hope the headlines hold long enough to see what I saw, but a interesting juxtaposition of Vietnamese initiative:  a story on Vietnamese farmers growing USA hybrid limes for export and a history lesson of Vietnamese commandos sinking a USA aircraft carrier in port back in 1964.

Asked why he chose to be a Communist commando, the native of the city's Nha Be District said that several people in his family had died during the resistance war against the French. His family's poverty was one of the reasons as well.
"Working at the port every day, I saw American vessels unloading numerous weapons, including tanks and fighter jets, to support the Sai Gon administration killing Vietnamese, so I decided to do something to stop them," Nao said.

He had tried to sink the Core, he succeeded the next year with the Card.  All sounds like the Cole. No country has ever been able to conquer Vietnam, even Genghis Khan failed.  This is what we get when we invade a country. if we did not invade, we'd trade -

The USA hybrid lime growing in Vietnam is a Bearss lime (note, not GMO, but hybrid.)

Last year, Chau Thanh District's Thanh Phuoc Agricultural Co-operative provided more than 200,000 seedless lemon seedlings to local farmers and bought 60 tonnes of fruit. The seedless breed of lime has become increasingly popular. It employed 20 local labourers, paying salaries of VND3 million ($140) a month. Thanh Phuoc buys about a tonne of fruit per day at VND30,000 per kilo to sell to supermarkets and wholesale markets in the south. It also exports to Middle Eastern and European countries through local ex-import enterprises.
Last year, That invested a large portion of his own money into the co-op to install an international-standard cold storage system and drying room.

I wonder if they are shipping LCL MOQ FOB the lines to the Middle East.  If not, it would be ideal for  growing Vietnamese agriculture as it is for small USA ag export biz.
