According to the Viet Nam Fruit and Vegetable Association, by the end of October, durian exports had surpassed the record of 3.2 billion USD of last year.

Viet Nam’s fruit and vegetable exports are accelerating strongly, with turnover in the first 10 months of this year reaching over 7 billion USD, creating a solid foundation to move towards the 8.5 billion USD mark. The strategic fruit groups that are the main driving force include durian, mango, jackfruit, banana, grapefruit, and coconut. Of which, durian continues to maintain its role as a key commodity, leading growth.

According to the Viet Nam Fruit and Vegetable Association, by the end of October, durian exports had surpassed the record of 3.2 billion USD of last year. In the Mekong Delta, the price of durian at the beginning of the off-season is currently being purchased at a good level, making farmers excited.

Specifically, Thai durian grade A is purchased by warehouses for 103,000 - 105,000 VND/kg; the selling price at the garden ranges from 80,000 - 90,000 VND/kg. Particularly, the price of Ri 6 durian grade A at the garden ranges from 50,000 - 55,000 VND/kg.

However, the Vietnamese durian industry is facing many challenges, especially its heavy dependence on the Chinese market, which accounts for more than 90% of export turnover. Rapid growth in area and output is exceeding the production capacity of the industry chain, especially in terms of quality control and traceability, from growing areas to export shipments.

Recently, the General Administration of Customs of China issued the Regulations on registration of imported food production establishments abroad, Decree 280, effective June 1, 2026. According to the Import and Export Department, compliance with these regulations not only helps businesses avoid risks, but also creates an opportunity to enhance the reputation and quality of Vietnamese durian in the international market.
