Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports to China and the US have seen significant growth from January to August 2021, reaching a total value of US$2.52 billion, an 11.8% increase from the previous year. Despite this, there was a noticeable decline in exports in August, with a 13.3% decrease compared to July 2021. The first seven months of 2021 witnessed a positive growth in exports, with a particular surge in fruit and nuts, led by dragon fruit. Processed products, including coconut and dried fruit, also saw a substantial increase. However, China has implemented strict controls at land border gate areas, affecting the clearance of Vietnamese goods. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development in Vietnam is taking steps to navigate these barriers by negotiating market opening and supplementing export products to China. This includes registering exports under new regulations and guiding businesses to meet the Chinese side's regulations.
