The northern provinces of Lao Cai and Quang Ninh have decided to temporarily ban the entrance of vehicles carrying fresh fruits for export to China via some of their border gates and crossings, as there is still some congestion there.
Lao Cai is going to suspend the reception at the Kim Thanh International Land Border Gate No. 2, whose Chinese counterpart is Beishan, from January 18 until further notice. In an urgent announcement sent to localities nationwide on January 16, the Lao Cai provincial People’s Committee said China’s Yunnan province has resumed fruit imports through these border gates since January 12.
