Fruit and vegetable exports show positive signs at the beginning of the year.

According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VinaFruit), from the beginning of January 2026 to the present, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports have reached over 598 million USD, an increase of 59.8% compared to the same period in 2025.

Durian exports are projected to grow strongly in 2025.

Import turnover reached approximately 399 million USD, an increase of 66.5% compared to the same period last year. The estimated trade surplus for fruits and vegetables is over 199 million USD.

With a solid foundation in 2025 and expectations for key products, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports are projected to continue favorable and maintain growth momentum this year, aiming for an export value of 10 billion USD. However, the industry needs to monitor and adapt to new import policies, especially China's Decree 280, to maintain official export channels.

VinaFruit also stated that in 2025, durian exports will maintain their number one position with a turnover of 3.86 billion USD, accounting for 45.09% of the total value of fruit and vegetable exports. This growth is thanks to the expansion of registered growing areas and official exports to China, as well as strong penetration into high value-added markets such as the US and EU.

Next came coconut exports (fresh and processed) with a value of nearly 534 million USD; and dragon fruit exports at nearly 526 million USD. The signing of the Protocol on exporting fresh coconuts to China has given a major boost to this product.

Despite facing intense competition, dragon fruit exports have maintained a high market share thanks to a shift towards Indian and Middle Eastern markets. Other products such as mangoes, pomelos, passion fruit, and longan have recorded stable growth. Notably, passion fruit has accounted for a significant share, approximately 25%, of the product structure exported to the EU market.
