According to customs statistics, from January to May, flower exports reached nearly 38 million USD, up 21% over the same period last year. Of which, chrysanthemums led the way with a growth rate of more than 23%, followed by flowers such as carnations, phalaenopsis and lisianthus with an increase of 6-11%.
Dalat flowers, with their high durability, stable color and thick petals, have conquered demanding markets such as Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Australia.
A business in Ho Chi Minh City shared that every week they export thousands of flower branches according to continuous orders.
Not only flowers, but also leaves made their mark with a revenue of more than 5.2 million USD, up 36% over the same period. Bay leaves, a familiar spice in soups and curries, achieved an impressive growth of 142%. Bamboo leaves and banana leaves also recorded growth of more than 52%.
The growth potential of leaf products is still considered very large, especially when Asian cuisine is increasingly popular and the global Vietnamese community is growing.
Despite many achievements, the Vietnamese flower export industry still faces difficulties related to copyright of varieties. This makes flower varieties not really diverse, limiting the ability to compete in the international market. However, businesses are making efforts to improve to meet the increasing demand from the markets.
Late last year, the Prime Minister encouraged cooperation with the Kunming International Flower Trade and Auction Center (KIFA), which has the largest flower trading volume in Asia and the second largest in the world .
Mr. Tao Vinh Can, representative of KIFA, expressed his confidence in Vietnam's potential for developing modern models thanks to favorable climate and natural conditions.
He expects the two sides to cooperate comprehensively from providing seeds, cultivation techniques, consumption to building an international flower auction floor in Vietnam. This is a strategic step, helping Vietnam not only increase exports but also aim to become a regional flower trading center.
