Vietnam has seen a significant increase in durian prices due to high demand in the Chinese market and limited supply, with exports contributing to a rise in fruit and vegetable export turnover to 2.1 billion USD in 2023. The Plant Protection Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development reported a 31.82% increase in fresh durian exports to China in the first 11 months of 2023 and is nearing completion of negotiations to export frozen durian products to China.
