Tridge summary

Korea will resume carrot imports from Hai Duong, Vietnam, effective March 4, making it the province's major export market, accounting for approximately 40% of exports. This move is anticipated to expedite the consumption of remaining carrots due to COVID-19's impact. However, the re-opening of the market overcomes only one obstacle, the cold storage shortage. As of February 26, Hai Duong had 30,000 tons of carrots across 539 hectares, primarily in Cam Giang, Nam Sach, and Chi Linh City. This development follows Vietnam's suspension of carrot exports to Korea from December 12, 2020, due to COVID-19 concerns, though Hai Phong city has since eased some control measures to facilitate agricultural exports.
