Vietnam mango exports to China have reached a historic milestone, capturing up to 97% of China’s imported mango market and emerging as one of the fastest-growing fruit export categories in 2025.
At the same time, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable export sector is approaching a new record. Total export turnover in 2025 is forecast to reach approximately USD 8.6 billion, marking the third consecutive year of strong growth. This figure significantly exceeds the earlier target of USD 5 billion, highlighting the sector’s strong adaptability amid global trade volatility.

1. Mango Emerges as a Key Growth Driver
Vietnam’s fruit export momentum is driven by major products such as durian, lychee, dragon fruit, and especially mango. According to preliminary data from Vietnam Customs, Vietnam mango exports and processed mango products generated more than USD 378 million during the first 11 months of 2025.
Within this structure:
- Fresh Vietnam mango exports exceeded USD 255 million, up nearly 10% year-on-year
- Processed Vietnam mango exports reached USD 122 million, increasing by approximately 13%, reflecting the shift toward higher value-added products
This growth demonstrates the rising global demand for both fresh and processed Vietnamese mango products.
2. Vietnam Mango Exports to China Lead All Suppliers
Mango consistently ranks among Vietnam’s top 10 fruit and vegetable export products. Notably, Vietnam mango exports to China currently account for around 97% of China’s total mango import market, far surpassing other suppliers such as Peru, Australia, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
China’s mango demand has increased sharply in recent years as consumers show a stronger preference for tropical fruits for both fresh consumption and food processing. In addition, seasonal domestic supply shortages have made imported Vietnam mangoes a crucial factor in stabilizing market supply and prices.
3. Competitive Advantages of Vietnamese Mango
According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, Vietnamese mango holds strong competitive advantages due to:
- Stable product quality
- Competitive pricing
- Flexible harvest seasons
- High productivity
- Lower labor costs
Premium mango varieties such as Cat Hoa Loc mango and Cat Chu mango are especially favored thanks to their strong aroma, rich sweetness, and suitability for Asian consumer preferences.

4. Expanding Beyond the China Market
While China remains the largest destination, Vietnam mango exports are gradually expanding into high-standard markets. In early 2025, Tien Giang province cooperated with exporters to ship the first batch of green skin elephant mango to the United States. At the same time, an additional six tons of mango were exported to Australia, signaling strong growth potential beyond Asia.
5. Mekong Delta Strengthens Export Supply Base
In recent years, mango has become one of the core fruit crops in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, delivering high economic value for farmers. The region now has nearly 2,000 hectares of mango farms certified under VietGAP and GlobalGAP standards.
These certifications provide a solid foundation for Vietnamese mango to meet strict import requirements in demanding markets such as:
- United States
- South Korea
- Japan
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
6. Trade Agreements Support Long-Term Export Growth
The success of Vietnam mango exports and the broader fruit sector is closely tied to market access expansion and deeper international integration. In 2025 alone, Vietnam and China signed five official export protocols for agricultural products, creating a stable legal framework for cross-border trade.
With continued investment in farming standardization, quality control, and closed-loop value chains, Vietnam’s fruit export industry is expected to approach the USD 10 billion export milestone in the near future.
