Thus, China is the market with the dominant market share, more than 20 times higher than other markets. Markets with strong growth in fruit and vegetable export value are Japan (66.1%), UAE (58%), and China (53.1%).

According to statistics, the export value of fruits and vegetables in October 2017 is estimated at 209 million USD, bringing the export value of fruits and vegetables in the first 10 months of 2017 to an estimated 2.84 billion USD, an increase of 41.2% over the same period in 2016.

According to the assessment of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, in October 2017, the fruit and vegetable market fluctuated erratically due to the impact of weather as well as changes in supply and demand.

Due to the impact of continuous heavy rains in both the North and the South, outdoor vegetable areas were flooded, crushed, rotten, affecting productivity and quality. Therefore, the prices of vegetables increased sharply, even many prices nearly doubled.
