    According to local media in Myanmar and the South China Morning Post, many watermelonsdestined for the Chinese market rotted and deteriorated because they could not pass through the port smoothly for a long time, and were abandoned in large numbers on both sides of the road in Muse in northern Shan State .
     
    Damaged watermelons can be seen everywhere on the road at the exit of the 105-yard border trade area, and many nearby villagers will look for intact watermelons to take away
    .
    There are also drivers who sell watermelons cheaply on the spot.
    The price is 1,000 kyats for 3 pieces, which is about RMB 3.
    6 per 3 pieces
    .
     
    A person in charge of a Myanmar transportation company said that before the epidemic, he exported more than 500 trucks of fruits to China every day, mainly watermelons, cantaloupes and mangoes
    .
    With less than 10 vehicles crossing the border every day, they can only find ways to export the watermelons to other countries or sell them locally, but in most cases they can only throw them away
    .

     
    Hundreds of trucks were parked on both sides of the main road leading to Ruili City, Yunnan Province, waiting to clear customs
    .
    The person in charge said that at least 200 fruit trucks were stuck on the main road leading to Wanding and Jiegao on the road from Mandalay to Muse in Myanmar
    .

     
    On November 26, the Mangman Channel of Wanding Port, which had been suspended for 136 days, officially resumed customs clearance for import and export goods
    .
    However, due to the dual impact of the epidemic and the armed conflict in Myanmar, the average daily number of vehicles entering and leaving Wanding Port is only about 40
    .
    In December, the total import and export volume of Wanding Port was only 200 million yuan, a decrease of more than 40% compared with the same period of the previous year
    .
     
      A fruit importer in Ruili City said that the opening of the Wanding port has little effect on fruit imports
    .
    Since only containers are allowed to be transported now, and Burmese fruits are mainly transported through bulk trucks, the port has been closed for more than half a year
    .

     
      Apart from the Jiegao Port which is still closed, the Golden Triangle Port is the main channel for Myanmar fruits to enter Ruili
    .
    Due to the needs of epidemic prevention and control, the port was closed on July 8, and opened on November 22 after more than four months, and officially reopened on November 26
    .

     
      It is understood that according to the new customs clearance requirements, the goods must be transported in containers, and the containers must be transferred to Chinese trucks by cranes at the designated transfer center
    .
    Now the export of fruit to China must be packaged in cartons.
    The goods are first sterilized in Myanmar and stay for 48 hours.
    After the goods pass through the country, they will be quarantined in China for 24 hours
    .
    After customs clearance and tax declaration, a virus test is carried out, and the result is normal to continue transportation and delivery
