January 22, Fineko/abc.az. Vietnam’s fruit imports from the U.S. for 2025 grew by 67% up to $900 million, mainly due to apples, cherries, grapes and oranges. Counter exports from Vietnam are growing more slowly and reached $546 million.

ABC.AZ reports that this ensures only 1.49% of the American market, which is dominated by the countries of North and South America.

According to the Vietnamese Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, expansion is hampered by strict U.S. standards, difficult logistics and high competition, although Vietnam has already risen to 13th place in the list of suppliers. Despite the expansion of the permitted assortment (pomelo, mango, durian, coconut) and the growing demand for processed products, exports remain under threat.

Since 2026, the situation has become more complicated due to stricter safety and control regulations for pesticides in the U.S. The lack of a unified quality control system inside Vietnam, combined with Trump administration's unpredictable trade policy, poses risks to further deliveries to the U.S.
