In the reviewed period, close to 27,000 tonnes of lychee were shipped to China through the Kim Thanh border gate, with export turnover of over 14.8 million USD, up 7 percent year on year.
Vietnam sold more than 18,800 tonnes of bananas in the January-June period, a six-fold increase year-on-year. Watermelon exports also rose 94 percent year-on-year to 12.4 million USD.
The increases were attributed to the effective implementation of e-customs procedures and the one-stop-shop model, speeding up the settlement of administrative procedures, according to Tran Anh Tu, deputy head of the Lao Cai border gate customs sub-department./.
