    (De Volkskrant), according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, 7 months of 2021, Vietnam's agriculture, forestry, aquatic products export volume amounted to about $ 28.
    6 billion, an increase of 26.
    7%
    .
    However, exports in July 2021 were US$4.
    2 billion, a decrease of 9.
    5% from the previous month
    .
    Since July, the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic and its spread in many key agricultural provinces and cities have posed a major challenge to the country's agricultural growth in the later months of this year
    .
     
    Difficulties
     
    Ruan Tingsong, President and Chairman of Vina T&T Import and Export Trade and Services, said that the company now exports coconut, durian, longan, dragon fruit, mango, etc.
    to markets such as the United States, Canada, Japan, and South Korea
    .
    In the first half of 2021, the company's exports increased by 15% year-on-year
    .
    However, since the outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic in various provinces and cities in the southern region, exports have reversed
    .
    He said: "The price of container containers exported to the United States has risen in a blowout, and has increased multiple times before the outbreak.
    The price has risen from US$1,800 per container to US$9600-17,000
    .
     
    In addition, there is another risk that the number of shipping companies will decrease, and some will not even carry out the transportation of refrigerated goods, fruits and vegetables
    .
    The reason is that during the Covid-19 epidemic, the transportation cost of refrigerated goods is equal to that of dry goods, but the risks to be taken are higher
    .
    This has brought huge losses to export enterprises of fresh products such as fruits
    .
    This does not mention that in the raw material planting areas, farmers are distraught, because they do not know how long the epidemic will be prolonged and whether the products can be sold, and they do not concentrate on cultivating crops, leading to the risk of lack of high-quality raw materials for export
    .
    The current situation of agricultural enterprises is even more difficult
    .
    "
     
    At the same time, the Covid-19 epidemic has also slowed the growth of aquatic products exports, resulting in exports in July 2021 reaching only US$763 million, a year-on-year decrease of 4%
    .

     
    Zhang Tinghuai, secretary-general of the Vietnam Aquatic Products Processing and Exporting Association (VASEP), stated that 19 provinces and cities in the southern region implemented social isolation measures in accordance with No.
    16/CT-TTg, and accordingly required all enterprises to operate in accordance with the "three-in-place" program , Aimed at preventing the spread of the epidemic in factories and industrial parks
    .
     
    However, in fact, only 30% of aquatic product companies can guarantee the above conditions
    .
    Even factories that meet the conditions can only mobilize 30-50% of their workers, and the average productivity is 40-50% lower than before
    .
    The regional productivity is expected to drop to 30-40%
    .
    Because of this, the export of aquatic products is facing risks such as the lack of raw materials and labor, and the inability to meet the signed orders
    .
     
      In addition, in the first seven months of 2021, rice exports have also shown a downward trend
    .
    The export value reached nearly 3.
    6 million tons, and the export value was 1.
    937 billion US dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 10.
    6% and 0.
    6% respectively
    .

     
      Strengthen production to serve exports
     
      Chen Qingnan, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, stated that the Ministry has already reported to the Prime Minister to ask the government to guide the 19 provinces and cities in the southern region to give priority to agricultural and aquatic product processing plants, livestock and poultry breeding and slaughtering that are implementing the "three-in-place" program.
    100% of workers in the field and the cooperating production plants that form a value chain with it are vaccinated
    .
     
      The survey results of some factories show that although the number of laborers participating in the work is relatively large, only 30-40% of the people who get vaccinations are, so the risk of epidemic spread is very high
    .
    At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development proposes to launch a plan to increase the loan limit for the purchase of agricultural products and agricultural materials for qualified agricultural products and food production and processing enterprises
    .

     
      It can be seen that the agricultural production activities in the southern provinces are encountering many difficulties caused by the Covid-19 epidemic
    .
    It is expected that in the next few months of 2021, there will be a shortage of agricultural products and food supply sources that serve exports, because many raw material cultivation areas are blocked, and harvesting and production activities will be affected
    .
    The lack of cultivation of crops, lack of agricultural resources, and bad mood of farmers will continue to lead to the lack of high-quality export products
    .
    Accordingly, the export of fruits and vegetables fell by about 30% in the latter months of this year
    .
     
      For aquatic products, VASEP believes that under the best conditions, that is, when the epidemic is slow and controlled within the next three months, the export volume of aquatic products in 2021 will achieve the goal of 9 billion U.
    S.
    dollars
    .
    In a worse situation, that is, the continuation of the epidemic and China's strengthening of inspections of frozen aquatic products imported from Vietnam and other ASEAN countries, the highest export value of Vietnamese aquatic products is around US$8.
    8 billion
    .
    The production situation of aquatic products in the later months of this year depends on the productivity of the processing plant
    .
    It’s so difficult, but Chen Qingnan, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, emphasized that
     
      From now to the end of the year, agriculture must ensure epidemic prevention work, while maintaining and resuming agricultural production, avoid interruption of agricultural products and food supply chains, and ensure that domestic consumption needs and large quantities of goods are served for export, in order to maintain the growth momentum of the entire industry
