Vietnam earned 2.5 billion USD from exporting fruit and vegetable in the first nine months of 2020, representing a year-on-year drop of 11 percent, according to the Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The enforcement of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) is anticipated to enhance the competitive edge of local firms in comparison to regional rivals such as Thailand, the Philippines, and Malaysia, or South American countries with similar weather conditions such as Peru and Ecuador. Vietnam is Asia’s fifth largest producer of fruits and vegetables with its products available in more than 60 countries worldwide. VNA Photo
