 (Vietnam’s banana exports continue to witness strong growth, driven by stable import demand and consumption in the Chinese market)

In Q1/2026, Headway recorded the transportation of more than 15.000 tons of fresh Vietnamese bananas exported to Dalian Port, China, contributing to the growth of Vietnam’s agricultural exports in the international market.

According to the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable export turnover reached nearly USD 1.48 billion in Q1/2026, marking a 27% increase compared to the same period in 2025. China remained the country’s largest export market, accounting for more than 54% of the industry’s total export value.

For bananas, Vietnam is currently among the major suppliers to the Chinese market thanks to its stable supply capacity, suitable product quality, and geographical advantages for refrigerated agricultural export routes.

Optimizing Transportation Solutions for Agricultural Exports

In April 2026 alone, the volume of bananas transported by Headway to Dalian reached 6.550 tons, reflecting continued strong import demand in the Chinese market following the first quarter of the year.

During this period, Headway continued handling multiple fresh banana shipments in reefer containers from Ho Chi Minh City to Dalian Port amid the peak agricultural export season in Asia, when the market faced shortages of empty reefer containers, limited vessel capacity, and significant booking pressure across international shipping lines.

With over 23 years of expertise in cold chain logistics, Headway proactively coordinated with shipping lines to:

• Secure suitable vessel schedules in line with the cargo loading plan.
• Arrange empty reefer containers to ensure timely cargo stuffing.
• Closely monitor and continuously update export vessel schedules.
• Support the handling of CY Cut-off (Container Yard Cut-off) and SI Cut-off (Shipping Instruction submission deadline), ensuring smooth operational execution.
• Maintain stable temperature settings and preserve cargo quality throughout the transportation process.

The successful execution of this fresh banana export shipment further reinforces Headway’s position in reefer logistics and agricultural export supply chain solutions.

Supporting Vietnamese Agricultural Exports

The year 2026 continues to bring positive momentum to Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable industry as import demand from China and other Asian markets remains strong.

In addition, Headway has extensive experience handling fresh banana exports to China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and the Middle East — markets with stable demand for Vietnamese bananas thanks to their quality and consistent supply capabilities.

Through optimized cold chain logistics solutions and a global transportation network, Headway continues to support and connect Vietnamese enterprises in expanding their presence across the global agricultural supply chain.
