For a long time, China has been the largest market for vegetables and fruits in Vietnam, accounting for 75% of the market share, but it also has hidden risks. Quarter I / 2019 Vietnam’s fruit and vegetable export to China decreased nearly 15% compared to the same period last year. From 2018 up to now, this market has strengthened inspection, traceability, export of fruits and vegetables to China, and pulled down the export of this commodity of Vietnam.
Many businesses and traders in the country have a view of China as an easy market, fruits shipped and exported here have not been paid attention to packaging and storage as in bamboo and straw straws, so when encountering requests from partners about preservation has more or less met difficulties.
In this situation, the State management agency has provided guidance and information to businesses and traders to concentrate all efforts and urgently overcome shortcomings in order to meet the requirements of partners. So far, rambutan, banana, jackfruit, longan, dragon fruit, litchi, mango are fruits that meet the requirements to export to China. From the beginning of the year until this time, there has been no recurrence of a whole range of trucks carrying fresh fruits and vegetables in Tan Thanh border gate in the early summer sunshine as in 2018.
On this occasion, Vietnamese mango fruit with a new "vi-sa" plate has entered the US market properly, and mango is Vietnam’s sixth fresh fruit granted export license to the United States after dragon fruit and rambutan. Stomach, label, breast milk fabric.
The first batch of mangoes exported to the United States is of Dong Thap - the locality has the largest area of mango planting in the Mekong Delta Delta with nearly 10,000 hectares, each year about 127,000 tons of fruits. The province has chosen mango as one of five key items to implement the project of restructuring the agricultural industry in the locality with many models of applying new technologies to agriculture.
Even though the first trip had to be carried by airplanes, it made the price high and entered the high-end market where we had to "clash" with many prolific gardeners in the world who had been stabilizing their feet, but were cleared Fret after 10 years of negotiations, waiting. This move would encourage many eager mango lots to travel far into the market.
Comprehensive efforts have been effective, in April 2019, exported 440 million USD of vegetables and fruits, up 20.7% compared to March 2019, up 26.7% compared to April 2018. As a result, the 4 months of 2019 not only compensated the deficit of the first quarter of 2019 but also increased by 5.5% compared to 4 months of 2018. The increase is not high but in this situation it is worth it.
This is only one month. The drought and sunshine that stretched across the wide area had bothered the gardens. Floods and storms are stalking and threatening to threaten fruit trees. But more intense is the layer of technical barriers of the countries that have been built up, but Vietnam must negotiate and try to overcome. Bananas have not yet entered the Philippines, coconut has not yet reached China, many vegetables have not yet reached Japan because of technical barriers. The biggest challenge now is that the use of pesticides still makes it difficult to ensure that the fruit is guaranteed to meet export standards. More than ever, the authorities and the business community must work together to build and implement production standards for Vietnamese agricultural products in accordance with international standards.
