Vietnam's vegetable and fruit exports in January 2023 saw a decrease of 22.6% from December 2022 and 16.8% from the same period in the previous year, totaling 242 million USD, primarily due to the Lunar New Year holiday and the Tet holiday in China, its largest export market. The export value to other markets also saw a decrease because of the holiday-related interruptions. Despite this, there is positive outlook for the future as China, the largest consumer market, has reopened after its "Zero Covid" policy, and in 2022, it opened its market to many Vietnamese fruits and vegetables, and in 2023, Vietnamese fruits are expected to be exported to more markets like the US and New Zealand.
