Tridge summary

Vietnam has seen a significant increase in its vegetable and fruit exports, with nearly $2.8 billion in the first half of 2023, a rise of over 63% compared to the same period last year. This growth is largely due to the export of durians, with over 332 million USD in May 2023, nearly 10 times higher than the previous month, mostly to China. Other fruits like dragon fruit, mango, rambutan, and longan are also seeing increased exports. The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association aims for a target of 4 billion USD in exports this year, attributed to China's increased purchase of Vietnamese goods and the quality and competitiveness of Vietnamese produce. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development is emphasizing the need for modern processing technology and cultivation in line with local authorities' directions to meet international market demands and enhance the competitiveness of Vietnamese agricultural products.
