Vietnam’s Fresh Fruit Export Calendar

Fruit availability varies by province, variety, farming practices, and weather conditions. A general guide is useful for planning, but buyers should always confirm current availability before placing an order.

The actual export window should be confirmed based on the specific variety, growing province, harvest conditions, and destination-market requirements.

Fresh, Frozen or Dried: Which Vietnamese Fruit Format Is Right for You?

International buyers do not always need to import fresh fruit.

Vietnam’s fruit industry can provide several product formats.

For buyers located far from Vietnam, frozen or dried fruit can sometimes offer greater flexibility than fresh products.

The best format depends on the destination market, storage infrastructure, product application, target price, and required shelf life.

What Should International Buyers Consider When Importing Vietnamese Fruits?

Before placing an order, buyers should confirm several key specifications.

1. Fruit variety

Different varieties can have significantly different sizes, flavors, maturity characteristics, and prices.

2. Size and grade

Specify the required:

• Fruit weight
• Size range
• Caliber
• Grade
• Appearance

3. Maturity

The required maturity stage should be determined according to the expected transit time and distribution model.

4. Packaging

Common options include:

• Corrugated cartons
• Plastic crates
• Trays
• Mesh bags
• Individual sleeves
• Palletized export cartons

5. Quantity

Buyers should specify whether they need:

• Trial quantity
• LCL shipment
• Full container
• Regular monthly supply

6. Destination

The destination country and port are important because import regulations, transit time, freight costs, and phytosanitary requirements can vary significantly.

7. Certifications and compliance

Depending on the market and buyer, requirements may include farm traceability, food-safety documentation, phytosanitary certificates, and third-party certifications.
