Vietnam doubled import volumes of Chinese fruits and vegetables via the international border gate of Tan Thanh, northern Lang Son province in September against August, according to local newspaper Labor on Monday.
Some 100 lorries, each carrying 10-15 tons of Chinese fruits and vegetables, went through the border gate each day in September, on average. The respective figure in August was around 50.
Vietnam exported 204 million U.S. dollars worth of fruits and vegetables, mostly to China's mainland, Japan, China's Taiwan and Singapore, in the first eight months of this year, a year-on-year surge of 19.4 percent, according to the Trade Information Center under the Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Vietnam has planned to reap 760 million dollars in 2010 and 1.2 billion dollars in 2020 from exporting fruits and vegetables, up from 263 million dollars in 2006.
