Thus, the authorities at the border gates of Lang Son and Lao Cai provinces are still carrying out procedures to export normal goods, especially fresh fruits from Vietnam.

Currently, China is still the largest customer for consuming Vietnamese fruits and vegetables.

In the past 8 months alone, this country has spent 2.26 billion USD to buy Vietnamese fruits and vegetables, accounting for 63.6% of the total export turnover of the country's fruit and vegetable industry. With the figure of 2.26 billion USD, fruit and vegetable exports to the Chinese market also set a record compared to the same period in previous years.

Speaking with VietNamNet reporter, Mr. Dang Phuc Nguyen - General Secretary of the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association - assessed that this year's strong growth in fruit and vegetable export turnover is largely due to the explosion of orders in the Chinese market.

This year, China reopened after the Zero Covid policy. Agricultural exports to this market were favorable, orders poured in. In particular, our country's durian was officially exported to this country, promoting a breakthrough growth in the fruit and vegetable industry.

It is estimated that in the past 8 months, durian exports reached nearly 1.3 billion USD, of which exports to the Chinese market accounted for about 90% of the total turnover of this fruit in our country.

In addition, China also increased its purchases of other fruits such as bananas, jackfruit, dragon fruit, watermelon...
