Vietnam Fruit Import Research Report 2025-2034

Fruit is an essential component of the human diet, boasting rich nutritional value and extensive economic significance. There are numerous varieties of fruit, including tropical, subtropical, and temperate fruits. Fruits grown in different climate zones each possess unique characteristics, satisfying the diverse tastes and nutritional needs of consumers worldwide.

With accelerating urbanization and rising consumption levels, demand for fruit continues to grow, with the market showing a trend toward freshness, functionality, diversification, and convenience. Beyond fresh consumption, fruit is also widely used in further processing, including juices, jams, dried fruits, frozen fruits, and nutritional supplements, extending the value chain and increasing added value.

Global fruit production is primarily concentrated in countries and regions with favorable tropical and subtropical climates, abundant land resources, and well-developed agricultural systems. China, India, and Brazil are among the world's leading fruit producers, with China leading the world in both fruit production and consumption. India, with its extensive fruit cultivation area and reliance on traditional agricultural practices, has enormous growth potential. Brazil, a South American agricultural powerhouse with abundant tropical fruit resources, is a major global exporter of orange juice.

Demand for fruit in Vietnam has shown sustained growth in recent years, driven by factors such as advancing urbanization, rising incomes, increased awareness of healthy consumption, and a resurgent tourism industry. According to CRI analysis, domestic demand for tropical fruits (such as mangoes, durians, mangosteens, and dragon fruit) is strong, while demand for high-quality imported fruit is also increasing significantly. Furthermore, with the accelerating pace of life and increasing consumer convenience, the market for ready-to-eat products such as sliced fruit, frozen fruit, freshly squeezed juices, dried fruit, and mixed fruit drinks is also rapidly developing.
