Vietnam’s agro-forestry-fishery sector has set a new benchmark, posting an estimated US$64.01 billion in export earnings in the first 11 months of 2025, a 12.6% rise year on year and already higher than 2024’s figure of US$62.4 billion, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE) reported.

Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports are making a clear recovery after negative growth in early 2025, thanks to the strong comeback of durian – the leading product in the fruit-vegetable group – as well as efforts to improve quality, tighten supply chains, and diversify markets.

Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports have shown signs of strong recovery, with the total export value in the first seven months of 2025 estimated at over US$3.83 billion, following a sharp decline earlier this year.

Import and export activities between Vietnam and China were moderate in the first two months of the year, with a value exceeding US$31 billion, data from the National Statistics Office showed.

Vietnam’s export value of agro-forestry-aquatic products was estimated at US$5.08 billion in January, marking a 4.9% decline compared to the same period last year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).

Vietnam raked in more than US$3.8 billion from fruit and vegetable exports in the first seven months of 2024, up 23.4% year on year, according to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VINAFRUIT).

VOV.VN - Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports to the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Thailand increased sharply during the first quarter of this year, reported the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (Vinafruit).

VOV.VN - Vietnamese import-export turnover reached US$145.6 billion as of mid-March, enjoying a trade surplus of US$6.2 billion, according to figures compiled by the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

The Asian markets, especially Southeast Asia and Middle East, still hold vast potential for Vietnamese vegetable and fruit exports, experts said at a forum regarding the goods held in Ho Chi Minh City on March 13.

Fruit and vegetable exports are predicted to set a new record in 2024, possibly exceeding the 6-billion-USD tunover goal and even approaching the 7-billion-USD milestone.
