Guangxi Province (China) plans to cooperate in agricultural e-commerce with Vietnam
Besides traditional agricultural trade, Guangxi province (China) is planning to expand cooperation with Vietnam to new areas such as agricultural e-commerce and agricultural technology.
According to information from the International Trade News website of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, Huu Nghi Quan border gate is one of the largest and most convenient land border gates between China and Vietnam.
According to data from Chinese customs, in 2024, the import and export turnover to ASEAN countries through Huu Nghi Quan border gate reached 472.69 billion yuan, equivalent to about 64.7 billion USD, up 13.4%, accounting for 98.9% of the total foreign trade turnover of this border gate.
In recent years, Huu Nghi Quan border gate has also become China’s largest land border gate for fruit imports. Durian, jackfruit, dragon fruit and other fruits from Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries are transported to the Chinese market through this border gate in large quantities.
In 2024, the Youyiguan Port imported 20.06 billion yuan, equivalent to about 2.7 billion dollars of fruit products.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, agriculture is an important area of cooperation between Guangxi and Vietnam. According to the Guangxi Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in the 11 months of 2024, the import and export turnover of agricultural products between Guangxi and Vietnam reached 18.37 billion yuan (about 2.5 billion dollars), an increase of 17.7% over the same period last year.
Vietnam is currently Guangxi’s largest trading partner for 26 consecutive years. Of which, the import and export turnover of fruits between Guangxi and Vietnam accounts for more than 40% of the import and export turnover of agricultural products between Guangxi and Vietnam, and more than 1/3 of the import and export turnover of fruits between this country and ASEAN countries.
In terms of trade between Vietnam and China, Guangxi has become an important channel and distribution center for fruit trade between China and Vietnam.
In the coming time, trade between the two sides is expected to increase because Guangxi and Vietnam have plans to cooperate in the fields of agricultural e-commerce, agricultural industry cooperation and agricultural technology exchange.
By the end of 2024, Guangxi had 18 agricultural enterprises registered to invest in Vietnam.
