According to Viet Nam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, communication activities have been intensified to increase agricultural product exporters' awareness about China’s requirements regarding import licences and food safety and promote exports of agricultural products from Viet Nam to China.

On average, the northern border province of Lao Cai sees more than 500 trucks carrying Vietnamese agricultural products to China daily while Lang Son Province sees more than 800 trucks.

Viet Nam's agriculture ministry granted over 2,000 production unit codes and 1,438 packing house codes for products to be exported to China.
