There are still more than 2,800 trucks of agricultural products in Lang Son, total time to clear all existing vehicles at the Vietnam - China border gate is informed

Lang Son province in Vietnam is facing a significant challenge as over 2,800 trucks, primarily carrying fruit, are stuck at the border due to customs clearance issues. This congestion is affecting the export of agricultural products, with some trucks returning to domestic markets. To address this, the province plans to continue implementing 'green zones' to expedite exports and improve safety. Additionally, efforts will be made to facilitate e-commerce trade and provide market information to prevent further congestion. Meanwhile, Lao Cai province, which operates the international border gate, does not have congestion issues as only Vietnamese enterprises are declaring goods. The export of dragon fruit, the highest value export product, has seen a decrease due to a stoppage from Ha Khau Trade Department. The Lao Cai Department of Industry and Trade is advocating for an agreement on quarantine of agricultural products, expansion of fruit export lists, and a special support package for the deep processing industry to address the challenges faced in exporting agricultural products to China.
