Outlook and expert opinion

Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, General Secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, commented that after a booming year, the Vietnamese durian industry is entering a period of competition in terms of quality and process standardization. He said that if Vietnam continues to expand the number of coded growing areas and invest in processing, it can maintain its leading position in the region and aim for a turnover target of 3.5 billion USD this year.

Export activities have returned to normal after a short interruption due to the temporary closure of some testing laboratories in Dak Lak for maintenance. Currently, about 300-400 durian trucks are cleared through customs at major border gates such as Lang Son , Lao Cai and Mong Cai every day, ensuring delivery progress.
