Vietnamese fruits and vegetables accelerate towards the export target of 10 billion USD

VTV.vn - Vietnamese fruits and vegetables are growing strongly, aiming for an export target of 10 billion USD in the next few years, expanding markets and improving product quality.

Vietnam's fruit and vegetable industry is entering a period of strong growth, with export turnover in the first 10 months estimated at more than 7 billion USD, an increase of about 14% over the same period last year.

This milestone opens up the prospect of fruit and vegetable exports surpassing the $8 billion threshold for the first time this year and moving towards $10 billion in the next few years, as Vietnam proactively improves quality, expands its market and flexibly adapts to new regulations from partners, especially China.

According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, the impressive growth of the industry comes from strategic fruit groups such as durian, banana, mango, jackfruit, coconut, grapefruit...

Vietnamese fruits are expanding into many high-end markets. Typically, durian exports have grown by double digits in many markets such as the US, Canada, Japan...

In particular, Vietnamese grapefruit has just been officially accepted for import into the Australian market, marking a big step forward in meeting strict food safety standards.

Currently, China is still a strategic market, importing about 17-18 billion USD worth of fruits and vegetables from other countries each year; of which Vietnam only accounts for about 4-5 billion USD.

With its geographical advantages and low logistics costs, Vietnam can absolutely increase its market share here. However, it is important to ensure food safety standards, clear traceability and strict compliance with quarantine regulations.

One factor considered key to maintaining sustainable growth is building a standard raw material area.

With a stable growth rate, proactive adaptation to new regulations and the direction of standardizing raw material areas, the Vietnamese fruit and vegetable industry is facing a great opportunity to conquer the export target of 10 billion USD, affirming its position on the world agricultural map with quality, transparency and sustainable development.
