Vietnamese Agro-Forestry Exports to China Surge

In the first half of 2025, Vietnam's agro-forestry exports to China reached an impressive US$1.3 billion, marking a nearly 46.8% increase year-on-year. This growth underscores the burgeoning demand for Vietnamese agricultural products in the Chinese market.

Durians: A Flavorful Favorite

Among Vietnam's agro-forestry products, durians stand out for their distinctive flavor, year-round harvest season, and geographical proximity to China. These factors contribute to their high regard for both quality and long-term growth potential.

Streamlining Trade for Freshness

Li Xiapeng from Hebei Kinghey Catering Services emphasizes the need for improved customs clearance procedures to shorten processing times and maintain product freshness. Strengthening direct business connections between Chinese and Vietnamese enterprises is also crucial.

A Market Full of Potential

As a leader in China's catering industry, Hebei Kinghey is eager to expand cooperation with Vietnamese firms to introduce more high-quality products to the Chinese market. Vietnamese durians are increasingly seen as competitive against those from Thailand and Malaysia.

Trade Promotion and Quality Standards

Recent trade promotion events between Vietnam and China have spotlighted durians, with agreements focusing on quality standards, food safety, and traceability. These elements are key to expanding Vietnam's durian industry in China's vast market.

Forecasted Success

With inherent advantages and strong Chinese demand, Vietnamese durians are poised for continued success, promising to boost Vietnam's agricultural export revenue significantly.
