To support theexport of the fruit, the Management Board of Lao Cai Border Economic Zone hasdirected units at the border gate to arrange for staff to begin shifts early to ensure all procedures are completed within one day.

Hoang Minh Du, deputy head of the border station based at Kim Thanh II Border Gate, said that saidbefore the lychee season, the unit had devised a plan to regulate trafficand asked soldiers on duty at the border gate to give priority to truckscarrying lychee fruit. When vehicles arrived at the border area, they were guided to avoid traffic jams even during peak times. Theunit also informed businesses about export-import-related procedures as required by the Chinese side so as to avoid affecting the progress of goodsclearance.

According to the Lao Cai Economic Zone Management Board, nearly 29,000 tonnes of lychee from the northern province of Hai Duong and Bac Giang is anticipated to be exported to China this year.
