Laos is expected to ship over 50,000 tons of citrus fruits to China, in a deal worth USD 50 million. The country plans to export this first shipment of 50,000+ tons of citrus fruits to China early next year. The fruits grown in Laos, which include oranges, pomelo, and lemons, will be transported to China in the next few months.
These plans solidified after Lao Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Phet Phomphiphak, and Ni Yuefeng, a Senior Customs Official from China, signed a memorandum of understanding last week.
