Higher volumes of imported fruit and vegetables came from key markets- Australia (up four times to nearly US$20 million), and New Zealand (double to nearly US$11.3 million).Other markets like the Republic of Korea, India, South Africa and Brazil also experienced relatively high import growth while imports from China saw a slight increase of 30% to US$80 million.Thailand remained the top fruit and vegetable exporter of Vietnam.Vietnam spent US$200 million importing Thai fruit and vegetables last year and US$144 million for the first half of this year.The US was also among top three biggest importers with US$32 million during the corresponding months.Judging from the Vietnamese market, prices of imported fruit from the US, Australia and New Zealand are much higher than those of domestic and Chinese fruit.
