Many container shipping lines have announced further increases in transportation fees starting from late May, which was pushing import-export companies into a lot of difficulty.

transport companies in the capital since last November, after
authorities urged them to do so following fuel price reductions.
Many traders now use increasing transportation fees to force farmers in
the Cuu Long (Mekong) River Delta to reduce produce prices, resulting
in uncertainty about profits for farmers.
