Vietnamese fruit could face trade barriers in Chinese marketVietNamNet Bridge - China has become more fastidious about fruit imports, setting high requirements similar to those applied by the US and Australia. China is one of the largest export markets for Vietnam’s fruits. However, Vietnam’s fruit exports to the US, Japan, South Korea and Australia just account for only 10 percent of total export turnover, while the other 75 percent is from the Chinese market. With the ASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Vietnam’s fruit exports to China will enjoy the zero percent export tariff. Vietnam has many kinds of tropical fruits, but exports to the world market remain modest.
