　　In the first two months of 2021, Vietnam's export of fruits and vegetables has seen a sharp increase.
Not only that, the export market is also rich and diverse.
In January 2021, China was the largest import market for fruits and vegetables in Vietnam, with imports accounting for 59.

　　Focus on processing

 

　　Many companies believe that in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic is still complex and changeable, the processing of fruits and vegetables industry will boost the entire industry to increase the value of exports.

 

　　Nguyen Ting Song, president of Vina T&T Import and Export Service Trading Company, said that although Covid-19 broke out in many places in 2020, it will have little impact on the company because all the fruits of the company are processed and therefore have a long shelf life.
In the immediate and long-term, companies should focus on investing in the development of processing businesses, aiming to process and preserve fresh fruits even when they encounter difficulties in exporting fresh fruits, and even increase the added value of their products.

 

　　Deng Fuyuan, Secretary-General of the Vietnam Fruit Association, pointed out: "In the first two months of this year, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports have achieved considerable results.
Therefore, it is just around the corner for this product to maintain a good export momentum.
In fact, it is mostly due to the signed free trade agreement.
There are many advantages to increase productivity and export value.
On the other hand, during this period, our country’s many kinds of fruits and vegetables have met the demanding signs of high-quality markets such as the United States, the European Union, and Japan.
Since then, the world’s consumers have established a strong reputation for Vietnam.
Confidence in agricultural products.

　　Because of this, the requirement for the Vietnamese vegetable and fruit industry in the future is to focus on improving product quality, ensuring product traceability, and guaranteeing food based on the construction of VietGap and GlobalGAP planting areas and processing plants that have obtained ISO standard certification.

In particular, under the background that the Covid-19 epidemic is still not under control, special attention should be paid to ensuring the safety of production, packaging, transportation and other activities during the epidemic, so as to make it easy for products to enter other countries.
