Based on impressive export results in recent years, Việt Nam's fruit and vegetable industry has set a target of achieving US$10 billion in export value by 2030, according to the Việt Nam Fruit and Vegetables Association.
Speaking at the association's fifth Congress for the 2024-2029 term in HCM City on January 6, Nguyễn Thanh Bình, its chairman, said fruit and vegetable export revenue declined significantly in the 2020- 2022 period due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, since early 2023, with the pandemic largely brought under control globally, exports quickly regained momentum, achieving significant growth by the end of the year.
In 2023, fruit and vegetable export revenue reached $5.6 billion, an increase of 67 percent compared to $3.4 billion in 2022. This robust growth continued into 2024, with exports reaching $7.2 billion, he said.
Việt Nam's fruit and vegetables have now been exported to over 80 countries and regions worldwide, with China, the US, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, the Netherlands, and Australia being among key markets.
