Growth momentum is good, fruit and vegetable exports can reach 6.6 billion USD in 11 months, up 27% over the same period last year.
This figure is calculated by the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association based on data from customs.
China is still the market that buys the most Vietnamese fruits and vegetables, nearly 4.1 billion USD in 10 months. This level increased by nearly 30% over the same period last year and accounted for 66.5% of Vietnam’s total fruit and vegetable export turnover.
Other markets such as the US grew by 35%, Korea (41%) and Thailand (70%). Meanwhile, the Netherlands was the only market with a decrease of 26%.
Durian is a fruit that accounts for about 40-45% of fruit and vegetable export turnover in the first 10 months of this year. In particular, China is the market that buys many of these fruits, with 3 billion USD. Thanks to that, Vietnam holds the second position in durian export market share to this billion-people market, with 39%, after Thailand (60.2%).
Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, General Secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, said that China is a huge market and has great demand for vegetables and fruits, especially Vietnamese durian.
According to him, with the export growth in recent months, Vietnam is likely to surpass Thailand to become the largest durian exporter to China in the next 1-2 years. He also expects fruit and vegetable exports this year to reach a record of 7 billion USD.
In August, Vietnam signed a protocol to export frozen durian and fresh coconut to China, opening up great opportunities for agricultural products. Two months ago, many businesses signed large export contracts, with some reaching an agreement to supply up to 1,500 containers of coconut to this market.
In the US, Vietnamese agricultural products, especially coconuts, passion fruits and fruits, are increasingly popular, promising expansion and growth in the future. As for Thailand, this year’s unfavorable weather caused many of their agricultural products to reduce output. Therefore, this country also continuously increases purchases from the Vietnamese market for domestic consumption or re-export to China.
