    Abstract


    Export of fruit and vegetables are considered as one of Vietnam's promising sectors and has been gaining success in some important markets, such as Japan in recent years. This paper assesses the current situation and potential of vegetables and fruit export from Vietnam to the Japanese market using the secondary data of International trade centre (ITC) and the General Department of Vietnam Customs. The results showed that although Vietnam's vegetable export market share in the Japanese import market has only accounted for about 1,2%, it has increased steadily over years, with the advantage of products from the tropics. Revealed Comparative analysis shows that overall vegetable and fruit export from Vietnam has an advantage over the years. Factors affecting Vietnam's vegetable and fruit exports include increased market demand, competition from exporting countries, free trade agreements, product quality issues and conformity with consumer demand, post-harvest losses and high logistics costs. Several recommendations to promote vegetable exports to Japan are proposed accordingly.
