Thailand, the world’s biggest durian exporter with a total export turnover of US$7 billion, became Vietnam's second largest importer of this fruit in the first four months of 2024.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports throughout the opening five months of the year surged by 28.1% to reach nearly US$3 billion, with the sector seeing bright prospects to fetch between US$6 billion and US$7 billion this year, according to industry insiders.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese durian exported to China does not have excessive cadmium content, confirmed the Plant Protection Department, citing the results of all relevant sample tests.

Vietnam's durian exports to China witnessed a significant surge in the first quarter of 2024, according to statistics of trade via the Youyi Guan border gate cited by China's Xinhua News Agency.

VOV.VN - Vietnam raked in US$253 million from exporting nearly 57,000 tonnes of durian during the first quarter of the year, posting an increase of 42% in volume and 63.7% in value on-year, according to data released by the General Department of Vietnam Customs.

Exporters should further strengthen trade connections and improve the quality of their goods to sustain export growth to China as this is no longer a "lenient" market, said insiders.

Vietnam's agricultural products were sold well in foreign markets in Q1, with a surge in both volume and prices documented.

There remains ample room for Vietnam's exports to China and the growth will be directly proportional to the quality improvement of products by domestic enterprises, according to Dau tu (Investment) Newspaper.

VOV.VN - With 32,750 tonnes of durian exported to China during the opening two months of the year, Vietnam outperformed Thailand as it emerged as the largest durian supplier for the northern neighbour, according to details given by Thai newswire The Nation.

With trade promotion activities intensified, the agro-forestry-fishery sector is able to earn US$54-55 billion in export revenue this year as assigned by the Prime Minister, according to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien.
