Vietnam has exported a larger volume of fresh fruits and vegetables to China since early August, according to local newspaper Vietnam Economic Times on Wednesday.
Prices of Vietnam's fresh vegetables and fruits, including longan, dragon fruit, lemon, pineapple, jackfruit, and mangosteen exported via its Mong Cai border gate in northern Quang Ninh province have now increased by 5-8 percent compared with early this month.
China's demand for the products, only half of which is now met by Vietnamese fruits and vegetables exporters, is expected to keep on rising in the next three weeks, the newspaper said.
Vietnam exported to the world market 187 million U.S. dollars worth of fruits and vegetables in the first seven months of this year, a year-on-year surge of 23.7 percent.
The country has planned to reap 760 million dollars in 2010 and 1.2 billion dollars in 2020 from exporting fruits and vegetables, up from 263 million dollars in 2006, according to the Trade Information Center under the Vietnamese Ministry of Trade and Industry.
