Fruit and vegetable exports expect to reach $8.5 billion by 2025

Vietnam's fruit and vegetable export revenue in October 2025 totaled $961 million, down from $1.313 billion in September 2025 but nearly double the $519 million recorded in October 2024, reported the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.

The recent growth in fruit and vegetable exports has been driven primarily by strategic fruit groups such as durian, banana, mango, jackfruit, coconut, and pomelo. 

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Chairman of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (VinaFruit), enterprises have increased the application of high technology, complied with regulations on traceability, planting area codes, and packaging facilities, facilitating the expansion of exports to many countries.

Besides the Chinese market, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable are also expanding into markets such as the US, Japan, Canada, and Australia. Notably, the official acceptance of Vietnamese pomelo by Australia marks an important milestone, demonstrating compliance with food safety standards, planting area codes, and traceability. This is seen as a stepping stone for many Vietnamese fruits to penetrate deeper into other demanding markets.

With current export results, the fruit and vegetable industry has far exceeded the target set for 2030, aiming for the $10 billion mark in the next 1-2 years.

According to the ministry's plan for key fruit trees by 2025 and 2030, Vietnam aims to cultivate 1.2 million hectares of fruit trees by 2025, yielding 14 million tons of produce and generating $5 billion in export revenue. By 2030, the target is to increase fruit export revenue to $6.5 billion.

Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen, General Secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, noted that since August, monthly fruit and vegetable export revenue has consistently remained above $900 million, indicating strong consumption demand in import markets.

"If we maintain export revenue above $900 million/month in the remaining months, fruit and vegetable exports can fully reach the $8.5 billion mark in 2025," he said. "This success not only signifies revenue but also affirms Vietnam's position on the global fruit and vegetable map, aiming for sustainable development and enhancing the national agricultural brand."
