Since the beginning of the year, Vietnam has received a large number of orders, especially for high-value products such as durians, mangos, and jackfruits.
According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (Vinafruit), the re-opening of the Chinese market as well as protocols signed with the largest market of Vietnamese fruits and vegetables were among motivations for growth of fruit and vegetable exports.
Meanwhile, rice sector also reaped good results in exports in the period thanks to increase in prices.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development estimates that in the last two months of the year, Vietnam is likely to earn additional 900 million USD from rice exports and about 1.2 billion USD from fruit and vegetable exports.
