Vietnam's agricultural exports are facing challenges at the Lang Son border due to China's regulations and the suspension of sea exports due to Covid-19 prevention measures, causing congestion and slow customs clearance. Despite these difficulties, Vietnamese businesses continue to prioritize the Chinese market, which is the world's largest economy and population, and offers the most significant export revenue for Vietnam. The Chinese market accounts for 54% of Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports, reaching US$1.75 billion in the first 11 months of 2021. Vietnamese businesses are urged to meet China's safety and quality standards to remain competitive in the market. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and localities are advised to provide more information about the new regulations to help businesses comply.
