Exports of Vietnamese fruit and vegetables rose 19.4 percent from the same period last year. According to figures compiled by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, shipments of fruit and vegetables in April jumped 75 percent year on year to 410 million U.S. dollars, mainly due to expanded exports of durian, dragon fruit and banana. Vietnamese exports of fruit and vegetables amounted to nearly 1.4 billion dollars in the first four months of this year.
China remained the biggest market for Vietnamese fruit and vegetables in the January-April period, accounting for 58.7 percent of the total export turnover, 27.4 percent higher than a year before, said the agriculture ministry.
