Tridge summary

Vietnam saw a significant increase in the export turnover of onions, shallots, and garlic in 2022, reaching nearly 31.2 million USD, an increase of 360% compared to 2021. The majority of these exports were to Asian markets, with China being the largest import market. However, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has identified several challenges in the onion industry, including fragmented production, fluctuating selling prices, lack of certified production areas, food quality and safety control issues, and limited post-harvest technology. These challenges, along with competition from Thailand and the need for high export standards, limit the competitiveness of local farmers and hinder the export of purple onions.
