Vietnam bird’s nests will be officially exported to China after the protocol on allowing the exportation of this product was signed by both countries. China is the world's largest market for bird's nests, accounting for more than 80% of the global market share. Meanwhile, Vietnam has many favourable conditions for swiftlet farming with its long coastline, many islands, bays and lagoons. The quality of Vietnam bird's nest products is also considered superior to other countries in the region and favoured by Chinese consumers. According to the Department of Livestock Production (MARD), swiftlet farming has developed strongly in 42 provinces and cities nationwide, concentrating in the South-Central region and the Central Highlands. Currently, more than 22,000 swiftlet houses have been installed nationwide with an annual output of about 120 tonnes worth over 500 million USD. So far, 13 agricultural products of Vietnam have been allowed to be exported to the Chinese market, including dragon fruit, rambutan, longan, mangosteen, mango, jackfruit, lychee, watermelon, durian, and banana among others.
