Even in the first days of the new year 2024, containers of agricultural products are still regularly exported through border gates in Lao Cai.
At the border gates in Lao Cai, every day, durian containers line up one after another to go to China.

Mr. Han Dao – To Dao Co Ltd., Hekou district, Yunnan province, China said: “Because the Chinese domestic market has many food and beverage items processed directly from durian intestines. If If this Vietnamese product can be exported to China, it will definitely be welcomed by the market and meet consumer demand.”
In addition to durian, many other Vietnamese agricultural products such as dragon fruit, lychee, cassava, and watermelon also pass through Lao Cai Provincial Border Gate and export strongly to the Chinese market. With the need for careful preservation and quick customs clearance time, in order to increase turnover, customs in Lao Cai also sets aside separate export channels, minimizing customs clearance time for Vietnamese agricultural products.

Lao Cai is also making efforts to improve infrastructure, increase customs clearance capacity, and reduce logistics costs, so that Lao Cai can truly become an effective connection point between Vietnam and the large Chinese market.
