    Vietnam's " Customs Online" reported on January 13 that on the afternoon of January 12, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of Vietnam held a meeting on promoting the export of agricultural products by sea .
    Deputy Minister Chen Qingnan said that China had previously restricted the import of dragon fruit because the new coronavirus was detected on the outer packaging .


     
    At present, some border crossings have reopened, but the question is how to strictly detect the new crown virus so that it does not stick to outer packaging and labels
    .
    Because if the virus is detected, China will continue to close border crossings
    .
    In the next time, some border ports will be closed during the Spring Festival, and the rest period will vary from 7 to 14 days depending on the situation at different ports
    .
    Therefore, it will be very difficult to clear customs if there is a continued backlog of goods at border crossings
    .
     
    Especially for dragon fruit products that are currently in the peak harvest period, Li Qingsong, deputy director of the Plantation Bureau, said that in the first quarter of 2022, the output of dragon fruit in Binh Thuan, Long An and Qianjiang provinces will be 226,400 tons
    .
    Among them, 101,216 tons were exported by sea, and 5,087 40-foot refrigerated containers needed to be used, including 2,700 in Longan, 1,975 in Binh Thuan and 412 in Qianjiang
    .
     
      Li Qingsong added that the cost of shipping has tripled compared to the past, making the cost of exporting companies much higher
    .
    In addition, the shortage of reefer containers and ships for export by sea, and the long transportation time will affect the quality of dragon fruit, which makes it difficult to export dragon fruit by sea
    .
    China's strict control of the coronavirus has also slowed loading and unloading at seaports
    .
    If the new coronavirus is detected, the dragon fruit is at risk of being returned
    .
     
      A representative of the Maritime Administration of the Ministry of Transport of Vietnam said that at present, most shipping companies have stops in China, and some of them specialize in the Chinese market, such as COSCO and Yang Ming
    .
    But there are some difficulties, such as the limited number of refrigerated containers on board because the number of electrical sockets on board is only about 20% of the number of seats
    .
    In addition, due to the particularity of Vietnam's trade with China, the supply of reefer containers is currently in short supply, so only reefer containers are used for imports to China, and only ordinary containers are used for exports
    .
    As a result, shipping companies will have to import refrigerated containers, increasing shipping costs
    .
     
      In terms of shipping companies, the representative of CMA CGM said that dragon fruit products have always been transported by land, while bananas, grapefruits, durians and other fruits are transported by sea
    .
    A large number of dragon fruits are now being moved from land to sea in a short period of time, making it difficult for shipping companies to arrange ships and allocate empty containers
