Vietnam’s exports of fruits and vegetables surged in September 2025, reaching US$1.31 billion, up 38.02 percent from August, according to the latest data from Vietnam’s General Department of Customs.
Year-to-date exports totalled US$6.13 billion, driven by a sharp increase in shipments to China, which rose 57.11 percent month-on-month to US$1.07 billion.
China remained the main destination, followed by the United States, South Korea, and Japan, though exports to these markets declined between 8 and 13 percent compared with August.
Exports to Thailand and the UAE recorded notable gains of 66.17 percent and 33.13 percent respectively, while shipments to Taiwan, Germany, and 
Hong Kong saw significant drops.
The strong September rebound signals renewed strength in Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable trade, supported by rising demand from regional partners and improved logistics efficiency.

Of note, Vietnam’s fruits and vegetables industry has become one of the country’s fastest-growing agricultural sectors, supported by favourable climate conditions and increasing global demand.
Exports include key products such as dragon fruit, durian, mango, lychee, and longan, which have gained strong footholds in markets across China, the EU, and the Middle East.
At the same time, domestic consumption of fresh and processed produce is rising, driven by urbanisation, higher incomes, and changing dietary preferences toward healthier foods.
