In contrast, South Korea and Thailand, although still among the top 10 key markets for Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports, have experienced decreases of 3% and 40%, respectively.
Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, Secretary-General of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, stated that fruit and vegetable exports have witnessed a remarkable recovery, with the turnover of the past eight months almost catching up to last year’s figures. He attributed this positive development mainly to durian, which currently holds the highest proportion in the country’s fruit and vegetable export structure.”
Durian is currently in its main harvest season in the Eastern and Western Southern provinces, the largest growing region in Vietnam. Thanks to meeting the standards set by China, the export of this fruit, along with other agricultural products, has prospered.
With these positive trends, experts are optimistic that the fruit and vegetable industry’s export turnover this year may surpass last year’s figure of $7 billion.
