Viet Nam’s fruit industry has recorded notable milestones with the first shipment of durian exported under a “green lane” mechanism through Huu Nghi International Border Gate in Lang Son to China, and the first official export of green-skinned pomelo to Australia after two years of negotiations.

In the first six months of 2025, Viet Nam’s fruit export turnoversharply declined after two consecutive years of strong growth. The sector needs a strategy to enhance competitive advantages, focusing on potential products that are on track to reach and surpass the one-billion-USD mark, such as bananas, pineapples, coconuts, and passion fruit.
