Exports have grown nearly 20 per cent year-on-year as 2025 comes to a close
Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports have topped US$7.8bn through the first 11 months of 2025, surpassing last year’s full-year total.
According to a report from VNA, the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (Vinafruit) said exports had increased 18 per cent year-on-year with one month left of 2025.
In the last month alone, export turnover reached US$754mn, up 64.9 per cent compared with the same month last year, the Association said. Fruit and vegetable imports were also up 15 per cent, reaching over A$2.44bn through to November.
Growth in key markets has helped drive export success for Vietnam. It climbed one spot to become the second-largest supplier to China and saw a 30 per cent growth in the US and 80 per cent in Thailand.
Chairman of Vinafruit Nguyen Thanh Binh said that while trade tensions and geopolitical conflicts had provided challenges for agricultural export in 2025, the US$8bn export target set by the industry remained feasible.
He highlighted investments in modern post-harvest technology and the strict attention paid to improving product quality as additional reasons for export growth. He emphasised the importance of adhering to international standards as vital to maintaining growth.
Top export categories included durian, banana, mango, jackfruit, coconut, and grapefruit. Durian is the largest category with exports estimated at US$3.4bn through to November.
