Hanoi: 2025 marked the third consecutive year in which Vietnam's fruit and vegetable sector shattered export records, with turnover reaching 8.6 billion USD. Building on the momentum of 2025, if market discipline is maintained, key produce such as durian, banana, pomelo, and coconut are developed under closed value chains, and existing export protocols are effectively utilised, fruit and vegetable export turnover is expected to soon reach 10 billion USD in 2026.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the remarkable performance of Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports has been attributed to strategic efforts to enhance production and ensure quality standards that meet international requirements. The focus on closed value chains has played a crucial role in maintaining consistency and reliability in exports, thereby boosting confidence among international buyers.

Moreover, the continuous development of key produce has positioned Vietnam as a competitive player in the global market. Durian, bananas, pomelos, and coconuts have emerged as significant contributors to the sector's success, with each crop benefiting from targeted cultivation strategies and improved export protocols.

Looking ahead, stakeholders in Vietnam's agricultural sector are optimistic about reaching the 10 billion USD export turnover milestone by 2026. The emphasis on maintaining strict market discipline and utilizing effective export processes is expected to sustain the growth trajectory and further elevate Vietnam's status in the global fruit and vegetable market.
