The agricultural sector’s export turnover surpassed 62 billion USD, exceeding the government’s target of 54–55 billion USD.
Key contributors to this growth included coffee, pepper, rubber, and rice exports.
The expansion into new markets, such as pomelos to the Republic of Korea, passion fruit to Australia, and increased trade protocols allowing frozen durians and fresh coconuts to China, has driven remarkable growth in fruit and vegetable exports.
Annual export turnover in this sector is expected to reach 7.2 billion USD, up 28% year-on-year.
China remains a crucial market for Vietnamese agricultural exports, especially for fruits, cassava, rubber, and seafood.
Beyond traditional markets, Vietnam is exploring new opportunities, particularly in the Middle East’s Halal market./.
