Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports in 2024 experienced impressive growth, with total export value estimated to surpass $7.1 million, a remarkable increase from $4.5 billion in 2023. [6] This robust performance underscores the country’s ability to meet rising global demand for high-quality agricultural products. Experts predict that export revenues could exceed $8 billion in 2025 if this growth trajectory continues.

China continues to be Vietnam’s largest export market, accounting for more than 60% of the total export value. Other major markets include the United States, Japan, and the European Union. These countries have demonstrated strong demand for Vietnamese fruits and vegetables due to their quality, competitive pricing, and adherence to international safety standards.

Among the wide variety of exported fruits, durian has taken center stage in 2024. The fruit’s export value alone is projected to exceed $3 billion, marking a record-breaking achievement. This success can be attributed to Vietnam’s concerted efforts to meet China’s stringent import requirements, including compliance with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and enhanced traceability systems. Furthermore, the surge in Chinese demand has made durian a strategic export crop, encouraging investments in cultivation and logistics. Other key export items include dragon fruit (435 million USD [8]), bananas (350 million USD[9]), mangoes (more than 308 million USD[10]) as well as processed products such as frozen vegetables and canned fruit.

Cơ hội và thách thức

Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable sector continues to demonstrate promising growth in 2024, unveiling numerous opportunities for the future. One notable trend is the shift towards safe fruit and vegetable production that adheres to VietGAP and other international standards. This movement towards higher quality and safer products positions Vietnam favorably in the global market and sets a sustainable path for future development. The government’s orientation toward encouraging the production and export of high-quality fruits and vegetables further strengthens this trend, providing incentives for growers and exporters to elevate their practices. Additionally, as export volumes increase, there is a corresponding boost in the cold storage and transportation sectors, underscoring their growth potential in supporting agricultural exports.

The popularity of premium fruits like durian continues to offer lucrative prospects for Vietnamese farmers and exporters. High demand, especially from China, combined with favorable pricing, has spurred investments in cultivation and post-harvest processing. By focusing on enhancing product quality and meeting international export standards, Vietnam can reinforce its status as a prominent exporter of sought-after fruits like durian.

Despite these opportunities, challenges remain. A significant issue is the limited added value of Vietnamese exports, as the industry primarily focuses on raw products with minimal processing and packaging. Enhancing capabilities in high-value processing and packaging is crucial for maximizing profitability and market reach. Climate change also poses ongoing threats, with extreme weather events and natural disasters potentially disrupting production cycles. Moreover, navigating stringent import regulations in key markets requires continuous investment in infrastructure and adherence to rigorous food safety standards, such as China’s phytosanitary requirements.

Lastly, Vietnam faces strong competition from established exporters like Thailand and the Philippines, particularly in markets for durian and bananas. To sustain its competitive advantage, Vietnam must invest in innovation, enhance branding, and adopt effective marketing strategies that differentiate its products on the global stage.

Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable sector in 2024 has proven to be a dynamic and resilient industry, achieving remarkable growth in both production and exports.
