In the first 7 months of the year, China spent 2.1 billion USD (54.6 trillion VND) on Vietnamese fruits and vegetables, a 15% decrease but still accounting for over half of Vietnam's export market share.

For the first time, exported fresh durian will be subject to a dedicated food safety process, covering everything from cultivation to packaging and transport.

After several sluggish months, Vietnamese durian exports are rebounding, especially to China, which consumes over 90% of Vietnam's durian output.

Banana and passion fruit exports, currently generating nearly 700 million USD annually, are expected to reach the 1 billion USD milestone this year if Vietnam invests strategically and expands cultivation areas.

A sustainable durian farming model initiated by the Lam Dong Province Agricultural Extension Center and Bayer Vietnam has helped farmers in Lam Dong earn a net profit of over 1.3 billion VND per hectare.

Durian is rich in energy, natural sugars, and fiber. Eating 1-2 small arils can provide nutrients without causing a drastic spike in blood sugar.

At least 7 Singaporean members of parliament (MPs) have organized durian tours to Malaysia this month to thank their constituents for their support in the recent election.
