the below function will only export name, phones and email
#+begin_src
(defun org-contacts-vcard-format (contact)
"Formats CONTACT in VCard 3.0 format."
(let* ((properties (caddr contact))
(name (org-contacts-vcard-escape (car contact)))
(n (org-contacts-vcard-encode-name name))
(email (cdr (assoc-string org-contacts-email-property properties)))

(ignore-list (cdr (assoc-string org-contacts-ignore-property properties)))
(ignore-list (when ignore-list
(org-contacts-split-property ignore-list)))
(head (format "BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:3.0\nN:%s\nFN:%s\n" n name))
emails-list result phones-list)
(concat head
(when email (progn

(setq result "")
(while emails-list

This may be difficult, I use org-contacts and use a elisp function to
merge all the contacs which have same name. then export contacts to a
vcard file.
