Vietnam is leveraging cherry supplies from emerging greenhouses of China that are offering importers 50% the international price.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ho Chi Minh City\u2019s specialty fruit vendor Thanh Loan told VNExpress<\/u><\/a> on May 18, 2025 of prices hugging 0.5 million dong ($19.26) a kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loan purchased 2 kg of China\u2019s cherries at almost 1.2 million dong ($46.22), the same price for 1 kg of the American equivalents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chemical-free Cultivation <\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is not just affordability that is motivating traders to order cross-border cherries but the clean cultivation method, too.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their greenhouse setting, the fruits grow almost organically without chemicals or synthetic fertilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome is sweet, crispy cherries similar to Australia\u2019s, only that these preservative-free fruits need eating within a week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geographical proximity with China nevertheless saves the perishability aspect for the airborne cherries arrive 24 to 48 hours after packing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But China, which supplants home production with massive imports from Chile<\/u><\/a>, is not having all its supplies out. This is in turn making Vietnam\u2019s importers only manage a limited number of crates per shipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenhouse Cherry Capital <\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Imports would be negligible if Shandong Province near eastern China\u2019s Yellow Sea did not develop controlled indoor cultivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yantai metropolis on the Yellow Sea pioneered greenhouse cherry farming, a triumphant venture that has made exports possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, Shandong\u2019s greenhouse cherries cost 45 yuan ($6.24) a kg for the smallest and 55 yuan<\/u><\/a> ($7.62) for the largest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, northeastern China\u2019s Dalian province in early 2025 retailed greenhouse cherries at 130 yuan ($18.02) a kilo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This illustrates that the currently small area of greenhouse cherries in China sometimes makes them command haphazard prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With cultivation improvements and supply rebounds, the China cherry largesse is however telling, particularly in Vietnam\u2019s import prices<\/u><\/a>. To learn more about the cherry trade between the two nations, skim the below statistics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam\u2019s China Cherry Import Statistics<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam imports small quantities of mainly greenhouse cherries from China\u2019s eastern province of Shandong. By May 2025, this province was representing 25%<\/u><\/a> of the national cherry output in China. With 50,000 acres<\/u><\/a> under the crop, Shandong produces 100,000 tonnes of cherries per year. In contrast, the total area under conventional- and greenhouse-cultivated cherries in China clocks some 1.5 million acres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is China an attractive cherry origin prospect for Vietnam<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low cost and easy logistics are the leading lures for Vietnam\u2019s ordering cherries from China. This is relevant because 29%<\/u><\/a> of the retail price of cherries in Vietnam owes to logistics. Logistical costs often raise the rates for U.S.-imported fruits to as much as $45 a kg. China\u2019s cherries, on the other hand, cost half that price at approximately $19.26<\/u><\/a> a kg, as of May 2025. This is because they are available by air 24 to 48 hours after the harvest, eliminating long-term preservation expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is China a major cherry import origin for Vietnam<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, Vietnam ordered about\u00a0$40 million<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in cherries, with China not among the chief import sources. According to the World Bank, the United States provided\u00a0over 4,138 tonnes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0back in 2021, ahead of Australia\u2019s 2,279 tonnes (t). This was around 75% of all in-bound cherry trade by Vietnam. New Zealand (1, 281 t) and Canada (621.3 t) followed, while Chile (381.5 t) climaxed the top 5.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
