In the past two months, China has been the leader in the Vietnamese fruit and vegetable export market, accounting for 57.5% of the market share with a significant purchase of durian, jackfruit, watermelon, and sweet potato. Additionally, Vietnam has experienced a threefold increase in agricultural exports to Laos, as well as increased orders from the US and EU markets. The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association reported successful contract signings at a major fruit fair in Germany, anticipating continued growth in exports this year. Despite a decrease in imports from China and the US, Australia's supply has seen a 46.2% increase, contributing to Vietnam's fruit and vegetable import turnover of US$289 million, which is 12% higher than the same period in 2022. Prices for durian and other fruits have also surged, with durian reaching a record high of 190,000 VND per kg.
