Vietnam witnessed a trade surplus of $1.23 billion so far this year, according to a report from the General Department of Customs.

In October alone, the report revealed that the import and export value was estimated at $37.9 billion, lightly increasing by 0.8 per cent, as compared to September. The export value was $19.4 billion and the import value was $18.5 billion, up 0.3 per cent and 1.4 per cent, respectively, making trade surplus of US$900 million in October.

Export value of vegetables and fruits in the first 10 months of this year was estimated at $2.84 billion. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development said this was a year-on-year increase of 41.2 per cent.

The ministry said China, Japan, the United States and South Korea were the top four importers of Vietnamese fruits and vegetables in the first nine months of this year, accounting for 76 per cent, 3.6 per cent, 2.9 per cent and 2.6 per cent of the total vegetable and fruit exports volume, respectively.

The export value of these products in October was $209 million, said the ministry, adding that the fruit market in October had different developments for different types of fruit.

Meanwhile, the price of longan at the farms in Bình Phước Province increased to VNĐ12,000-14,000 per kilo from VNĐ8,000 in August because of higher demand, as the supply of other fruits had reduced in the South.

Prices of dragon fruits in some Mekong Delta provinces also surged to between VNĐ25,000 per kilo for white flesh dragon fruits and VNĐ55,000 per kilo for red flesh dragon fruits, due to a lower supply of the product for exports.

The ministry said continuous heavy rains affected the productivity and quality of vegetables in the northern and southern provinces, causing the prices to increase sharply.
