As soon as China reopened its border on January 8, business of Vietnam and China turned busy again after a nearly three-year disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic. China is the most important export market of Vietnam's agricultural sector, including the fruit and vegetable industry. As Vietnam and China share a long border with numerous border gates, Vietnam has a competitive advantage in terms of price and transportation costs. The export of Vietnamese agricultural products to China, particularly durian, banana, and sweet potato will grow strongly this year. According to Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien, Vietnam's exports of agricultural goods and products to China account for about 19.2% of the market share of goods and agricultural products imported to the country.
