Fruit and vegetable exports are forecast to continue going smooth in the time ahead thanks to abundant domestic supply and foreign markets' growing demand. The exports brought home 3.4 billion USD during the first half of 2024, surging 28% year on year, reported the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD). The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VINAFRUIT) said durian, dragon fruit, banana, and longan were major contributors to exports growth. Shipments to key markets also increased 10-50% from the same period last year. China, Thailand, and the Republic of Korea (RoK) remain large importers, with their purchases from Vietnam up 30-60% year on year by the end of May. Source: Vietnam News Agency
