The Chinese government has permitted the restoration of import clearance for fresh fruit and frozen goods at the Ha Khau export border in Yunnan province. This decision aims to lessen the pressure at border gates in Lang Son and Quang Ninh provinces, following a temporary ban on dragon fruit imports through two other Chinese border gates. In 2020, over 35% of Vietnam's total dragon fruit exports to China was shipped through the Lao Cai border gate. However, the Yunnan province has advised Vietnam to regulate the volume of goods brought to the border to prevent congestion.
