Vietnam climbs to fourth place among Taiwan’s fruit and vegetable suppliers
VOV.VN - Vietnam has emerged as the fourth-largest supplier of fruits and vegetables to Taiwan (China) during the nine-month period of 2025, with exports reaching US$159 million.
According to Taiwan’s Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance, Vietnam shipped 144,341 tons of fruit and vegetables to Taiwan over the first nine months, up 2.3% year-on-year, earning around US$159 million in export revenue.
By comparison, mainland China exported more than 131,000 tons worth US$150.5 million, up 9.4% in volume and over 1% in value. Despite the growth, its total shipment was about 13,000 tons lower than Vietnam’s, giving Vietnam a 14.6% market share, surpassing China’s 13.3%.
The United States remains Taiwan’s top supplier, accounting for 25.6% of total import value, followed by New Zealand (13.5%) and Japan (11.2%). Vietnam is the only Southeast Asian country among Taiwan’s four largest suppliers of fruits and vegetables.
Vietnamese produce exported to Taiwan fetched an average price of about US$1,100 per ton, slightly below China’s US$1,150 and far lower than the higher-end products from the US and New Zealand, which mainly consist of premium fruits and processed goods catering to Taiwan’s 23 million consumers.
The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association said the country’s rising position among Taiwan’s top suppliers reflects its geographic proximity, competitive prices, and product diversity, including bananas, pineapples, mangoes, dragon fruit, frozen durians, and processed vegetables. However, fresh produce still dominates the export structure, keeping the average export value below that of competitors.
In recent years, many Vietnamese enterprises have increased investment in post-harvest technology, packaging, and cold-chain logistics, helping improve product quality and brand image in Taiwan. Frozen durians, canned pineapples, and dried mango slices are among the products gaining traction among Taiwanese consumers for their appealing packaging, traceable origins, and food safety standards.
Exporters noted that Vietnam could further consolidate its position and boost export value by expanding processed product lines, standardizing quality, and investing in brand development.
