The spreading new coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is taking toll on the economy as it has forced border trade on hold, particularly exports of fruits and farm produce from Vietnam to China.
The ministry called on all exporters to closely monitor the situation at these border gates and suggested them to export their goods through official channels.
The exporters can negotiate with their Chinese partners to shift to the official channels and apply all necessary steps to prepare for that in terms of packaging, labelling, traceability and food safety certification, the ministry recommended.
The ministry will continue its efforts to seek new foreign markets for the Vietnamese goods, especially fruits and farm produce./.
