Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam exported 390 million USDworth of fruits and vegetables in April, representing a month-on-month rise of7.9 percent, but down 15.6 percent against the same period last year.

Exports of fruits and vegetables and nut products to Russia surged. Meanwhile,Vietnam plans to ship its first batch of fresh lychee to Japan at the end ofMay.
 
With the COVID-19 pandemic now under control in China, Vietnamese fruit and vegetableexporters are hoping to recover their market share in the neighbouring market.

Last year, fruit and vegetable exports lagged behind expectations, reaching only 3.8billion USD, a year-on-year drop of 1 percent.

According to the Ministry of Industry andTrade, 2019 was a tough year for the sector. China, the country’s largestimporter, tightened requirements for imports from Vietnam via strict quarantinemeasures and origin traceability.

However, growth was seen in shipments toseveral markets such as ASEAN (26.6 percent), the US (10.7 percent) and theEuropean Union (32.2 percent)./.
