With more demanding markets opening doors to Vietnamese fruit and vegetables, the Southeast Asian country is expected to rake in US$2 billion from selling its green produce around the world in 2015, an industry association said. Fruit and vegetables are becoming the new moneymaker for Vietnam’s agriculture sector, as revenue from the stables has repeatedly soared in the last five years, according to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association (Vinafruit).
While the country only earned $460 million from fruit and vegetable exports in 2010, turnover in the first nine months of this year was already $1.3 billion, and is likely to reach $2 billion by the end of this year, Vinafruit said. Vietnam, where a wide variety of tropical fruits are grown, is shipping around 40 different kinds of fruit to 40 countries and territories.
Dragon fruit, watermelon, longan, and litchi are among the stables of the country’s fruit sector. The Southeast Asian country was allowed to begin selling its fruit to such strict markets as the U.S., Japan, and Australia in 2008 and shipments have since increased on an annual basis. Vietnam has won over consumers in the U.S. with its dragon fruit and rambutan, and is gaining similar support for longan, which was allowed access to the market in December 2014
