(HQ Online) - In the first 2 months of 2024, fruit and vegetable exports continue to maintain impressive growth momentum and are expected to set a new record of 6.5 billion USD in 2024.
According to the latest statistics from the General Department of Customs, fruit exports in February reached 325.76 million USD, down 33.6% compared to the previous month. However, in February there is a holiday for Tet Giap Thin 2024, so the decrease in turnover is understandable.

According to experts' estimates, fruit and vegetable exports in 2024 could grow by 15% to 20% compared to 2023. Thus, the export turnover of this product this year could reach a new record of 6. 5 billion USD.
