Vietnamese fruits and vegetables break back into the Chinese market.

After consecutive months of decline, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports to the Chinese market are now gradually recovering. Customs data shows that Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports to China in August reached 678 million USD, up more than 40% compared to the previous month and 15% compared to the same period last year. In total, in the first 8 months, this market imported nearly 2.8 billion USD of Vietnamese fruit and vegetables.

The recovery comes after a challenging first half of the year, when China tightened food safety and traceability standards. Regulations on pesticide residues, heavy metals, yellow oxide, and cadmium caused many shipments to be stuck.

Since July, China has continued to impose a 50 ppm limit on sulfur dioxide in fresh fruit, putting more pressure on exporters in the region. The Fruit and Vegetable Association believes that Vietnam can completely increase its market share in China if it maintains good food safety control.

With the recovery momentum from the third quarter, businesses and associations expect that fruit and vegetable turnover in 2025 can exceed 7 billion USD.
