One of the most captivating aspects of Vietnam's fruit bounty is the sheer diversity of flavors and varieties available. From the fresh and multi-use aloe vera to the sweet and succulent lychee, each fruit is known for its quality and flavor, and has been gaining international recognition and demand.

Mr. Le Van Duc, Deputy Head of the Department of Cultivation, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, stated that Vietnam's annual fruit production reaches approximately 12 million tons.
