Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports in February 2021 were estimated at $ 300 million, bringing the total for the first two months of 2021 to $ 610 million, a 14.6% increase year-on-year. Import value was $ 110 million, a 30.7% increase, despite the Lunar New Year and the Covid-19 pandemic. Prices remained low due to abundant supply. The Department of Agricultural Product Processing and Market Development anticipates a prosperous year for exports to countries like Egypt, Kuwait, Ukraine, and Afghanistan. The Covid-19 outbreak has negatively affected export and import, but Vietnam has cleared commodities effectively. The Vietnam - UK Free Trade Agreement promises to boost economic and trade cooperation, with many vegetable and fruit products having a 0% tax rate.
