HUNGHAU FOODS PROUDLY ELEVATES VIETNAM’S MONTHONG IQF DURIAN TO GLOBAL MARKETS

With high-standard raw material regions, modern processing lines at the HFV plant, and internationally recognized certifications, HungHau Foods has successfully brought Vietnam’s premium durian to demanding markets such as Japan, South Korea, China, and Europe. The journey of HungHau Foods in exporting IQF Monthong durian is not only a story of promoting Vietnam’s agricultural excellence but also a testament to its commitment to enhancing the value of Vietnamese produce on the global export map.

Ensuring High-Quality Raw Material Sourcing

To produce export-standard IQF Monthong durian, HungHau Foods prioritizes investment in raw material zones. The company has built and partnered with certified farms across the Mekong Delta, Southeastern region, and Central Highlands; areas with ideal conditions for Monthong durian cultivation.

Each tree in these farms is cultivated under sustainable agricultural models and strictly follows safe farming practices. Farmers working with HungHau Foods are required to comply with rigorous standards, including:

• No use of non-approved pesticides
• Observance of pre-harvest intervals
• Monitoring of residues (pesticides, heavy metals, microorganisms)
• Periodic testing of soil, water, and air quality

Regularly updated farm logs and audits by HungHau Foods’ technical inspection teams ensure transparency and traceability. Thanks to this closed-loop and standardized system, the fruit consistently meets export standards, featuring thick flesh, small seeds, and exceptional taste and safety.

Strict Quality Checks at Every Stage

Harvested at optimal maturity, the durians are transported to HungHau’s preliminary processing stations, where only premium-quality fruits are selected for IQF processing through a meticulous 3-step inspection:

1. Manual Sorting: Damaged, underripe, or deformed fruits are manually removed to ensure uniform size and appearance.
2. Ripeness & Weight Measurement: Specialized machines assess each durian’s weight and ripeness level, selecting only the ideal ones.
3. Pre-Chilling & Cleaning: Selected fruits are cleaned and pre-chilled to stabilize temperature and prevent microbial contamination before segmenting and freezing.

Advanced IQF Technology for Superior Quality

The extracted segments are flash-frozen using Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) at -40°C. This state-of-the-art process freezes each segment separately, maintaining:

• Natural cell structure
• Signature yellow color
• Rich aroma and creamy texture
• Inhibition of microbial growth

Frozen durian pieces remain loose and easy to package, suitable for various uses such as direct consumption or as ingredients in ice cream, pastries, and smoothies. The entire freezing process takes place in a cold, controlled environment to ensure international export standards are met.

All inspections and processes are handled by a highly qualified team following HACCP and ISO 22000 standards, guaranteeing premium safety and quality for global distribution.

Modern Production Line at HFV Factory

At HungHau Fruits & Vegetables Co., Ltd. (HFV) in Dong Thap Province—a subsidiary of HungHau Foods—the company operates a modern processing facility certified to European standards. Every stage from harvesting to cold-chain delivery is tightly managed to preserve the freshness and nutrition of the durian.

The 5-Step IQF Durian Production Process:

1. Harvest & Input Inspection:
   Only durians with optimal ripeness and no physical defects proceed to the next stage.
2. Segmenting – Grading – Cleaning:
   Durians are carefully opened and sorted by segment size, flesh color, and creaminess, then washed to remove impurities.
3. IQF Freezing:
   Segments are individually frozen at -40°C to preserve structure, taste, and nutrients.
4. Vacuum Packaging:
   Vacuum-sealed to prevent oxidation, moisture, and preserve shelf life (12–24 months at -18°C). Packaging includes traceability and usage instructions.
   

   

5. Cold Storage & Distribution:
   Products are stored in deep-freeze facilities and shipped in refrigerated containers, ensuring stable quality upon global delivery, including to Japan, Korea, China, the EU, and the US.

HFV’s factory meets stringent global food safety standards: HACCP, ISO 22000, BRC, FDA, HALAL, KV, and SMETA certifications. Moreover, HungHau Foods is among the few Vietnamese companies approved with GACC codes for formal exports to China.
