Vietnam is eager to resume trade on the China-Vietnam border
Beginning at the end of December 2021, China closed its ports of entry to Vietnam due to an outbreak in some areas.
— There were 3,000 trucks waiting to cross the border into China, and 1,700 of them were dragon fruit, papaya, mango and watermelon.
- If these tropical fruits are not transported in time, they may rot and cause losses during the waiting process. This border control has brought huge losses to enterprises on both sides.
- Considering that the traditional Spring Festival is approaching, Vietnamese dragon fruit growers have also increased their production before closing the customs, which makes it impossible to digest a large amount of dragon fruit in Vietnam.
Vietnam can only call on local residents to consume to digest production capacity, and the current retail price of dragon fruit in Vietnam has fallen to a few cents a kilogram.
