Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable industry is expected to set a new export record for the third consecutive year, reaching about 8.6 billion USD in 2025. This achievement far exceeds the 5 billion USD target set previously. This also shows the industry’s strong adaptability and resilience amid global trade fluctuations.
Many fruit and vegetable items have maintained large export values, such as durian, lychee, dragon fruit, and more. Notably, mangoes contributed significantly to the growth. According to the Customs, Vietnam’s exports of mango in the first 11 months of 2025 reached over 378 million USD.
Vietnam earned over 255 million USD from fresh mango exports, an increase of nearly 10% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, exports of processed mango products reached 122 million USD, a slight increase of nearly 13%.
Mangoes accounted for 97% of the market share in China.
Currently, mango is among the top 10 largest export items of Vietnam. Notably, it accounts for up to 97% of the market share in China, ranking first and far surpassing competitors such as Peru, Australia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
Mango consumption in China has increased significantly in recent years, driven by a growing trend for tropical fruits. China is also experiencing a shortage of domestic supply during the off-season, making imported mangoes an important option for stabilizing the market.
The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association assesses that Vietnamese mangoes are attractive due to their stable quality, reasonable prices, flexible seasonality, high productivity, and low labor costs.
Mango has become one of the key fruits in the Mekong Delta, bringing high economic value. The Mekong Delta currently has nearly 2,000 hectares of mangoes certified under VietGAP and GlobalGAP. In addition to exporting to China, Vietnam also supplies demanding markets such as the US, South Korea, Japan, the Netherlands, and New Zealand.
The impressive performance of mangoes in particular and fruits and vegetables in general is closely linked to market opening and deep integration. In 2025 alone, Vietnam and China signed five official export protocols for agricultural products. Based on the foundation set for 2025, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable exports have a real opportunity to reach the 10 billion USD target in the near future.
