The country exported 2,900 tonnes of banana worth US$2.3 million, an annual increase of 13.6 per cent in volume and 48.3 per cent in value, the Voice of Viet Nam (VOV) has said citing KITA’s figures.

The RoK imported a total of 155,300 tonnes of bananas valued at $131.5 million throughout the period, up 3.4 per cent in volume and 8 per cent in value year-on-year.
