In the first 11 months of this year, Vietnam’s total agricultural, forestry, and fishery exports reached an estimated $64 billion, marking a 12.6% increase compared to the same period last year and surpassing the previous year’s record. The trade surplus in these sectors is projected at $19.55 billion, a 19% rise year-on-year.
Agricultural products have shown robust growth, with coffee, fruits and vegetables, cashews, and pepper recording significant export value expansions. Coffee leads the pack with substantial increases in both volume and value, while its average export price surged by nearly 40%, reflecting strong global demand.
All agricultural commodities have benefited from rising international prices and stable or growing import demand in major markets, resulting in consistent and notable growth trends.
Durian stands out as a key export item. In October, Vietnam’s durian exports to China reached $562 million, a nearly 200% increase compared to the same month last year—the highest monthly growth recorded in 2025. Over the first 10 months, exports to China totaled $3.1 billion. Other significant markets, including the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, and notably Malaysia, also saw double-digit growth.
Vietnamese durian exports are gaining a competitive edge, particularly as durian production in Thailand has been impacted by heavy rainfall and storms.
Durian prices this year have surged by 30-50%, primarily due to the normalization of export clearance processes. Amidst off-season supply shortages, with durian from the Central Highlands already harvested, the market now relies heavily on supplies from the Mekong Delta, driving prices upward significantly.
