Experts said that the product can bring high economic value and has huge potential for expanding exports.
Vietnam planned to ship about 300 – 500 tonnes of fresh sugarcane to foreign markets in 2023.
Hoa Binh first exported fresh sugarcane to Japan in 2020 with 5.7 tonnes and the volume rose to 300 tonnes in 2022, with orders from demanding markets such as the Republic of Korea, the UK and the EU.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) has forecast that in 2023, Vietnam's rice exports will reach about 7.2 million tonnes, bringing home more than 4 billion USD.
Farmers in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam's biggest rice production region, are selling at higher prices in the wake of an export halt imposed by India, the world's largest supplier.
Vietnam’s agricultural, forestry and fishery exports to the European Union (EU) market reached 2.1 billion USD in the first six months of 2023, down 16.6% over the same period in 2022, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
