Vietnam's fruit and vegetable imports increased
Wednesday, May 27,2026
AsemconnectVietnam - According to the statistics figures from the Vietnam Customs Department, in April of 2026, the country's fruit and vegetable import value reached US$257.5 million, an increase of 12.1% compared to the previous month and 38.2% compared to the same period of 2025.
Totally, in the first four months of 2026, fruit and vegetable imports reached US$1.05 billion, an increase of 32.9% compared to the same period last year.
This result reflects the continued high level of domestic consumption, especially for premium, off-season fruits and raw materials for processing. However, the strong increase in imports also creates greater competitive pressure on domestic fruit and vegetable products, especially in the high-quality segment, requiring the Vietnamese fruit and vegetable industry to continue improving quality, design, and competitiveness in the domestic market.
China continued to be Vietnam's largest supplier of fruits and vegetables in April of 2026, with a turnover of US$100.9 million, a slight decrease of 0.1% compared to the previous month but an increase of 69.8% compared to the same period of 2025; the cumulative turnover for the first four months of 2026 reached US$415.8 million, an increase of 46.6% compared to the same period last year, accounting for 39.5% of total import turnover.
The United States was the second largest market, with a turnover of US$64.2 million in April of 2026, an increase of 37.8% compared to the previous month and an increase of 50.3% compared to the same period last year; the cumulative value reached US$277.7 million, an increase of 36.9%, accounting for 26.4% of total turnover.
The Myanmar market ranked third with a turnover of US$16.0 million, up by 24.3% from the previous month and 40.6% year-on-year; the cumulative figure reached US$72.6 million, up by 59.3%, accounting for 6.9% of total fruit and vegetable imports.
Overall, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable import structure is becoming more diversified, but still heavily dependent on a few key markets, especially China and the United States.
