Despite having great potential, Vietnamese rice-based products remain rudimentary and unpolished, severely hampering their ability to compete on the global market, according to industry experts.
Vietnam exported 3.9 million tonnes of rice, earning 1.9 billion USD, in the first seven months of this year, according to the Department of Agro Processing and Market Development under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Fruit and vegetable exports in April reached 462 million USD, bringing their total export turnover in the first four months of 2019 to 1.4 billion USD, a year-on-year rise of 7.2 percent.
China is current the biggest market for Vietnamese agricultural products, but its demand for fruits and vegetables is still growing, offering a chance for Vietnamese firms to boost even stronger shipments to this country.
