Vietnam’s turnover of vegetable and fruit exports to China has seen double-digit growth since the beginning of the year, maintaining China's position as the largest importer of these products.

Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports in the first nine months of the year are predicted to reach US$4.1 billion, representing a rise of nearly 70% on-year and 24% higher than the entire last year.

To increase competitiveness, farmers, businesses and management agencies need to work together to standardize the production process and build a durian brand.

The number of trucks carrying export fruit stranded at border gates in Lang Son Province has surged in recent days, according to local news reports.

The Vietnam Sanitary and Phytosanitary Notification Authority and Enquiry Point has not received any warning from the UK about dragon fruit exported from VN that it violates food safety regulations, said deputy director of the agency Ngo Xuan Nam.

Vietnam’s coconut export are expected to reach 1 billion USD in 2025 after the US and China agree to allow Vietnamese coconuts to enter the two markets, according to President of the Vietnam Coconut Association Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh.

Insufficient management on planting area codes and packaging agents has led to consistent warnings being issued to Vietnamese fruits by exporting countries.

Visitors to Tops supermarket at CentralwOrld, a shopping plaza and complex based in Bangkok (Thailand) are able to purchase Vietnamese longans as of August 18.

Vietnam earned US$1.1 billion from durian exports during the first seven months of the year, usurping dragon fruit which has been the country’s leading fruit export item.

Fruit and vegetable exports have been worth US$3.25 billion in the year-to-date, a 68.8 per cent increase year-on-year and already in excess of the 2022 figure of $3.16 billion.

Fresh Vietnamese passion fruit and coconut have huge export opportunities to Australia and China via official channels, according to the Plant Protection Department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

A Vietnamese Minister has called on the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to remove difficulties and swiftly open the market for Vietnamese agricultural products, including passion fruit and pomelo.

Durian has become Vietnam’s top fruit export earner, surpassing dragon fruit in terms of export value despite the significant gap in earnings between the two fruits last year.

The first batch of fresh lychee has arrived in the US, opening up big opportunities for the specialty and other Vietnamese fruits to conquer the demanding market.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has just said that Vietnam will perform negotiations on the export of Vietnamese coconuts to the United States in the last months of the year.

More and more consignments of lychees, a tropical specialty fruit of Vietnam, are departing for choosy markets.

A boom in orders from China has occurred, and new export markets have opened. Veggie and fruit export turnover of $4.5-5 billion this year is within reach.

Vietnam’s TT Meridian has sent the first shipment of seedless lychees to the UK, which arrived in the Western European market on June 16.

An initial batch of seedless lychees grown in the north-central province of Thanh Hoa has been shipped from Vietnam to both Japan and the UK.

July marks the end of the lychee season in China but the main harvest in Vietnam. Therefore, domestic firms are advised to optimise this opportunity to boost exports to the neighbouring country.
