Vietnam's fruit exports have surged significantly in 2023, with durian surpassing dragon fruit as the leading foreign currency earner, generating $2.2 billion—five times more than the previous year. The total area dedicated to fruit cultivation has expanded to nearly 1.25 million hectares, a 1.6-fold increase over the past decade. The Mekong Delta and the northern midland and mountainous regions are the top fruit-producing areas, representing 33% and 23% of the total cultivation area, respectively. Overall, fruit and vegetable exports reached over $5.6 billion in 2023, reflecting a growth of 1.47 times since 2018.

It suggests developing specific standards for various fruit and vegetable types and utilizing advanced farming techniques to improve quality and profitability. Implementing electronic traceability systems was also highlighted as essential for ensuring transparency and building consumer trust.
