Tiivistelmä
The main objective of this thesis is to examine the most recent overall picture of the fruits and vegetables export sector in Vietnam as well as to evaluate its performance in a more specific target market, Japan. Given the detailed analysis of all the achievements and drawbacks existing in the sector, the thesis then attempts to propose solutions to enhance the efficiency in the operation of the sector.
This study is carried out using quantitative research method. The quantitative data are gathered from the official statistic sources including Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam; General Department of Vietnam Customs; Ministry of Finance and the Customs, Japan; IndexMundi and figures from previous studies on relevant subjects that are mentioned in the thesis.
The result of the research confirms Japan as one of the three biggest importers of Vietnamese fruits and vegetables. Under the enforcement of ASEAN - Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement that partly eliminated the tariff barriers combined with Vietnam’s potential in agriculture, the nation stands a huge opportunity to expand its exporting scale of greenery products. However, the obsolete and unplanned production and exporting chain has so far gained Vietnam only a minor proportion of Japanese market shares. Improvement on the current situation of the sector requires more involvement from the government along with a close connection formed between producers and enterprises.
