As one of the few sectors reporting export turnover increase in the first quarter of 2023, Vietnam's vegetable and fruit sector has a bright outlook to earn US$4 billion in export revenue this year.
Vietnam's export value of agro, forestry, aquatic products in the first eight months of the year hit about US$36.3 billion, a year-on-year rise of 13.1 percent, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
The prices of Thai jackfruits, Taiwanese green mangoes, and pineapples in the Mekong Delta plunged simultaneously, causing many households to fall into reduced circumstances because of losses.
An international workshop on information exchange for market regulations, import and export control of Vietnam - China vegetables and fruits was held by the Agro Processing and Market Development Authority under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Vietnam Fruit and Vegetables Association (VINAFRUIT).
The Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap, the largest mango producer in the region with 9,200 hectares of mangos and a annual output of nearly 100,000 tonnes, is working to turn mango into a sustainable hard currency earner by 2020.
