Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports experienced a 12% decrease in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, totaling US$849 million. This decline is largely due to a 25.3% drop in exports to China, the largest market, due to the impact of the epidemic and China's anti-epidemic policies. Despite this, exports to other markets like the United States, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and Taiwan saw growth. US exports of Vietnamese produce surged by 68.4% to $61.8 million, driven by a culinary trend focusing on fresh produce. Taiwan's imports of Vietnamese produce increased by 3.3% in volume and 27.2% in value, reaching 8,900 tons worth $8.8 million, with onions, shallots, leeks, garlic, and other onion vegetables being the main imports.
