Durian exports could surpass record $3 billion in 2024
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), on August 19, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam and the General Administration of Customs of China officially signed three important protocols, paving the way for the export of fresh coconuts, frozen durians and crocodiles to China.
The Protocols signed this time include: Protocol on inspection, plant quarantine and food safety for frozen durian exported from Vietnam to China; Protocol on plant quarantine requirements for fresh coconut exported from Vietnam to China and Protocol on quarantine and health requirements for farmed crocodiles exported from Vietnam to China.
Among them, frozen durian is considered a priority product with the potential to contribute significantly to the current agricultural export turnover of our country. The official opening of the Chinese market for this product is expected to create great opportunities for the Vietnamese durian industry.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in 2023 alone, Vietnam exported about 500,000 tons of durian, reaching a turnover of 2.3 billion USD, of which exports to China accounted for 90%.
Frozen durian is a new product with higher added value than fresh durian. It is expected that frozen durian exports can reach an export turnover of 400-500 million USD in 2024, the first year after signing the protocol, and soon appear on the list of agricultural export products worth billions of USD in 2025.
Sharing with Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen - General Secretary of Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association - affirmed: When frozen durian is exported to China, the export value of fruit and vegetable products could reach 7 billion USD in 2024. Of which, durian alone could bring in over 3 billion USD.
Vietnamese crocodiles exported to China for the first time
Along with durian, two important protocols on the export of fresh coconut and crocodile were also signed.
According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, fresh coconut is also a product with great export potential. The signing of this protocol marks the end of the technical negotiations between the two sides, opening up opportunities for Vietnamese fresh coconuts to be exported in large quantities to China.
Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen emphasized that Vietnam is one of the largest coconut producing and exporting countries in the world, with a planting area of about 175,000 hectares, mainly concentrated in the Mekong Delta. With the opening of the Chinese market, it is expected that fresh coconut export turnover can increase by 200-300 million USD in 2024 and continue to grow strongly in the following years.
Regarding crocodile exports, the signing of the protocol will create great opportunities for breeders, promoting the strong development of the crocodile farming industry in a sustainable direction, ensuring environmental standards and animal welfare.
