Vietnam’s fruit, vegetable exports likely to set new record

Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports are projected to reach 6.6 billion USD by the end of November, fulfilling the annual target of 6-6.6 billion USD, one month ahead of schedule.

According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (Vinafruit), exports in the first 11 months recorded substantial growth across various markets, with double-digit increases.

The most significant growth was seen in exports to Thailand, the Republic of Korea, Germany, Canada, China, and the US.

Based on the obtained results, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports could reach a record of 7 billion USD, or even 7.2 billion USD by the year-end, the highest figure so far.

China remains Vietnam's largest fruit importer, accounting for an estimated 4.6 billion USD, or nearly 70% of Vietnam's total fruit export value.

Although the US is not among Vietnam’s top fruit importers, it offers significant advantages due to the lack of domestic production of many tropical fruits.

Currently, eight types of Vietnamese fresh fruits are exported to the US, including dragon fruit, mango, longan, lychee, rambutan, star apple, pomelo, and coconut./.
