May 18, 2026 | Tuoi Tre News |
Vietnam’s durian exports surged 230% in the first quarter of 2026, mainly driven by strong growth in frozen durian shipments, which achieved higher export prices than fresh fruit. Exports also expanded significantly to markets such as the United States, South Korea, Australia, and Japan.
