News -Vegetable exports to China surge

The exportation of fresh vegetables to China across the Mong Cai international border gate is bearing fruit with some 30 tonnes of fresh produce heading to the world's most populous every week.

The Commercial Information Centre (CIC) under the Ministry of Trade reported that their weekly earnings topped over 120,000 Yuan (16,000 USD).

Meanwhile, fruit exported from the south is also seeing a share in the bounty, especially in regional specialties such as durian, mangosteen and rambutan, the CIC said.

In the first week of July alone, 18,000 tonnes of dried litchi were shipped to China.
