Fresh Jackfruit Officially Exported to China
This marks a significant milestone as outlined in the Protocol on the Export of Fresh Jackfruit from Vietnam to China, recently signed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the General Administration of Customs of China.
To date, Vietnam has successfully exported 16 types of fruits and vegetables to China through official channels. Among these, 11 products have specific export protocols in place, including watermelon, mangosteen, black jelly, durian, frozen durian, fresh coconut, fresh banana, sweet potato, chili, passion fruit, and jackfruit. In the first 10 months of this year, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports to China surpassed USD 4.5 billion, reflecting a 10% increase compared to the same period last year.
Representatives from both nations anticipate that the new Protocol on Fresh Jackfruit will further stimulate agricultural trade between the two countries. This agreement marks the fifth agricultural export protocol signed in 2025, following earlier agreements for chili, passion fruit, rice bran, and raw bird’s nests.
According to Mr. Huynh Tan Dat, Director of the Department of Crop Production and Plant Protection, the signing of this Protocol underscores Vietnam’s growing ability to meet the stringent quality and food safety standards demanded by international markets, particularly China. He believes that if Vietnamese agricultural products can meet China’s requirements, they can compete effectively in any global market.
However, Mr. Dat also cautioned that the Chinese market is becoming increasingly demanding, with stricter regulations on food safety and traceability. This necessitates that Vietnam’s agricultural sector rigorously implements measures to enhance product quality and maintain market dominance.
“High-quality standards are paramount for regulatory bodies and local governments to elevate farmers’ awareness from the production stage onward. First, it is essential to tightly control input materials and adopt good agricultural practices such as GAP or VietGAP for key products. Second, strengthen food safety inspection and monitoring systems throughout production, preliminary processing, and pre-export stages. Third, establish robust supply chains linking businesses, local authorities, and farmers to ensure each stage meets traceability requirements. This enables authorities to effectively address risks and implement appropriate solutions, ensuring imported products meet quality, quarantine, food safety, and traceability standards,” Mr. Dat emphasized.
With the signing of the Fresh Jackfruit Export Protocol, the agricultural trade partnership between the two countries is poised for further expansion, potentially encompassing other promising products such as coconut, pomelo, and additional fruits in the near future.
