Thalvora unveils oat cereal with dried fruit, due on shelves in the first quarter of 2027

Thalvora Foods has introduced a new product to its distribution partners: Oat Cereal with Dried Fruit, extending a nuts and cereals category that currently includes roasted salted cashews. The product is due for launch and is expected to reach modern retail and e-commerce channels from the first quarter of 2027.

From dried fruit to an easy breakfast

The idea came from the Tien Giang dried fruit plant itself. When dried mango and jackfruit are cut and graded, a share of the pieces is too small for retail packs, even though the quality is exactly the same. Rather than selling these pieces on to the animal feed industry, our research and development team began blending them with oats to create a convenient breakfast for busy families.

After 18 months, more than 40 recipe trials and three rounds of sensory testing with 600 consumers in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, the final recipe contains:

Rolled oats, making up 62% of the weight;
Soft dried mango, vacuum-fried crispy jackfruit and dried passion fruit from our Dong Thap and Tien Giang growing areas;
Diced cashews and a small amount of coconut nectar for natural sweetness;
No added refined sugar, no preservatives and no artificial flavourings.

Made to international standards

The cereal is produced on a new blending line at the Tien Giang plant, in an area certified to FSSC 22000 and HACCP. Every lot of fruit can be traced back to the orchard through the QR code printed on the pack, in line with the commitment Thalvora has kept since 2021 that 100% of its growing areas are QR-traceable.

We wanted a product whose ingredient list a parent can read in ten seconds and fully understand. Everything in the box comes from growing areas our own team has walked. — Ms Pham Thu Ha, Director of Quality and Food Safety

Packaging and pack sizes

The cereal comes in two formats: a 400 g carton with a resealable inner bag, and a 40 g single-serve sachet for office and HORECA customers. The carton uses paper from responsibly managed plantation forests, and the inner bag is a recyclable mono-material film.

Less waste at the plant

Using the smaller fruit pieces is expected to save the Tien Giang plant around 140 tonnes a year of by-products that would otherwise be sold at low value. It is part of a wider goal, pursued across all three of our factories, to turn a higher share of raw materials into consumer products. Once volumes stabilise, the new blending line will create around 45 jobs for local workers, mainly in packing and quality control.

Launch timeline

In the fourth quarter of 2026, Thalvora will complete product registration and run a commercial trial in selected stores. Wider distribution is planned from the first quarter of 2027 through our network of 160,000 outlets, after which the company will consider exports to markets that already buy its dried fruit.

First shipment of pure passion fruit juice arrives in Australia, broadening our beverage exports

gioithieucongty09.mauwebdep.com.vn — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:28:11 +0000

In late August 2026, six containers of Thalvora Foods' pure passion fruit juice arrived in Australia, where they are being distributed to specialty food stores and restaurants through a local importer. It is the first time a Thalvora beverage has been sold in the country, where the company has exported soft dried mango and crispy jackfruit since 2019.

From the orchards of Dong Thap

The passion fruit in the shipment was harvested in our Dong Thap fruit region, where Thalvora works with more than 1,400 growers across roughly 900 ha. Fruit is bought against minimum ripeness and Brix criteria, delivered to the Binh Duong plant within 24 hours, then pulped, flash-pasteurised and aseptically filled.

To meet Australian requirements, the product went through almost a year of preparation:

Completing food safety and labelling documentation in line with local import rules;
Testing every lot for pesticide residues at an independent laboratory;
Redesigning the bilingual label to show the growing region and a traceability QR code;
A 12-month stability study under a range of storage temperatures.

Beverages: our fastest-growing category

In the first nine months of 2026, Thalvora's beverage export revenue rose 38% year on year, the fastest growth of any category. Bottled fresh coconut water and passion fruit juice are now sold in 11 of the 28 countries we export to, mainly Japan, South Korea, the Middle East and Europe.

Customers in Australia already knew Thalvora's dried fruit, so they trusted us when we introduced our beverages. Reputation is built one consistent shipment at a time, not with a single big contract. — Ms Dang Ngoc Mai, Director of Sales and Export

What it means for growers

Export orders keep the plant running at a steady rate all year, which allows Thalvora to offer longer purchase contracts to Dong Thap farmers. From next season, growers with GlobalG.A.P.-certified orchards will receive a price bonus 8% above the standard floor price, and Thalvora will cover part of their certification audit costs in the first year.

Mr Nguyen Van Loc, who leads a passion fruit growers' cooperative group in Dong Thap, says a stable buyer is what growers value most, because open-market passion fruit prices can swing threefold within a single season.

Packaging and shipping

The juice is packed in 250 ml glass bottles for restaurants and 1-litre cartons for food stores. Each container carries a temperature logger for the roughly 18-day sea voyage, and the data is shared with the importer as soon as the shipment arrives in port.

Expansion plans

Following the first shipment, the importer has placed quarterly orders for 2027. Thalvora is also preparing to bring bottled fresh coconut water to Australia next year and is developing a passion fruit and mango blend for the HORECA channel.

New no-added-sugar dried fruit range launches in recyclable mono-material packaging

gioithieucongty09.mauwebdep.com.vn — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 14:28:11 +0000

In early July 2026, Thalvora Foods launched its no-added-sugar dried fruit range, made up of four products: soft dried mango, vacuum-dried crispy jackfruit, soft dried banana and dried dragon fruit. The range was developed at the Tien Giang dried fruit plant, which opened in 2013 and now produces most of the company's dried fruit exports.

Sweetness from the fruit itself

Traditional dried fruit is usually soaked in sugar syrup before drying to preserve colour and texture. For the new range, our research team reworked the entire process:

Selecting only fruit with high ripeness and Brix from our Dong Thap fruit region and contracted growers in Tien Giang;
Drying at lower temperatures for longer to retain natural colour and flavour;
Vacuum-drying jackfruit and dragon fruit instead of deep-frying;
Using no preservatives and no colourings.

The result is a product whose sweetness comes entirely from the fruit's natural sugars. Colour can vary slightly from season to season, which Thalvora states clearly on the pack so consumers understand it is a natural characteristic.

Taking out the sugar means there is nowhere to hide poor raw materials. We have to choose better fruit, dry it more slowly and control moisture more tightly in every batch. — Mr Vo Quang Huy, Director of Manufacturing

Lighter packaging that is easier to recycle

The new range is Thalvora's first to use a mono-material PE pouch instead of a laminate of several plastic and aluminium layers. Thanks to a redesigned film structure, the new pack:

Uses around 30% less plastic per pouch;
Can go into standard flexible plastic recycling streams;
Still provides the moisture barrier needed for the same 12-month shelf life;
Carries sorting instructions printed on the back.

If all of the company's dried fruit moved to the new packaging, plastic use would fall by an estimated 85 tonnes a year. Thalvora aims to complete the switch in 2027, starting with products for the domestic market and then exports. Shipping cartons have also been redesigned to hold more pouches, cutting truck journeys by around 12% for the same volume.

Pack sizes and channels

Each product comes in 100 g and 250 g packs and is available in modern retail, on e-commerce platforms and at dried fruit counters in selected airports. A 30 g pack is reserved for HORECA and corporate gifting. The QR code on the pouch lets buyers see the growing area and production date of each lot.

Early response

In its first month, the range reached around 9,000 outlets nationwide. Importers in Japan and Europe have also requested samples of the no-added-sugar dried mango to evaluate for the 2027 season. The range will also supply the fruit for the oat cereal with dried fruit that the company plans to launch soon.
