Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable export turnoverhit 1.4 billion USD in the first five months of this year, down 17 percentcompared to the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Agricultureand Rural Development (MARD).

The ministry attributed the decline in five-month exportvalue to a sharp decrease in shipments of the products to China.

Exports of all vegetables and fruit to China have shown signs ofdecline, except for bananas which recorded remarkable growth, it said.

In the first five months of this year, China imported 742,000tonnes of bananas, a year-on-year increase of 10 percent. Of which, the volume of Vietnamese and Philippines bananas account for 43 and 28 percent market share, respectively.

According to the MARD, in the coming time, it is still difficult for fruit and vegetable inparticular and agricultural products in general to enter the Chinese market. Therefore,exporters should actively seek new markets, and increase the export of fruits that have been granted permission to Japan, theUnited States and European Union markets./.
