HANOI: Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy has called for efforts to coordinate with Chinese customs to address technical challenges that are significantly hindering Vietnam’s durian exports following a steep drop in shipment volume in early 2025.
A report from the ministry shows that Vietnam’s durian exports to China reached only 35,000 tonnes worth around US$130 million in the first four months of this year, equivalent to only 20 per cent of export targets. In comparison, durian exports totalled $500 million in the same period last year.
