This conference is an opportunity for state management agencies and businesses to find advantages, expose barriers and identify possible solutions in trade promotion and import-export activities this year and in coming years, especially for potential and key products of the Central Highlands.

Việt Nam has more opportunities to boost fruit and vegetable exports to China this year due to signing more protocols to permit official exports of fruits and vegetables to this neighbouring market.

Durian became the top export fruit of Việt Nam with a revenue of $2.2 billion, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of the country’s total fruit and vegetables export and playing a key role in helping the sector set a new export revenue record at $5.5 billion in 2023.

China is the largest export market of Vietnamese fruits and vegetables, accounting for nearly 65 per cent of the total fruit and vegetable export value.

Following the USs green light to import Vietnamese coconuts, Nguyễn Đình Tùng, the general director of Vina T&T Group Import-Export Company, reported that they have already shipped four containers of the fruit to the US market.

The total trade value in the period posted a year-over-year decrease of 13.1 per cent to $435.23 billion.

Fruit and vegetable exports have been worth US$3.25 billion in the year-to-date, a 68.8 per cent increase year-on-year and already in excess of the 2022 figure of $3.16 billion.

The agricultural sector had seven groups of products recording an export turnover of over $1 billion in the first half of 2023, including coffee, rubber, rice, vegetables, cashew nuts, shrimp, and wood products.

Plant varieties, which aim to stimulate the development and distribution of novel plant varieties, take on critical significance in this context.

Vietnamese longan is much welcomed in Japan although its retail prices are high, which brings a big opportunity for local farmers.
