Vietnamese passion fruit arrives in Guangxi
A shipment of 18.4 metric tons of fresh Vietnamese passion fruit arrived at Youyiguan Port in Pingxiang, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, on Sunday. It's the first time Vietnamese passion fruit has been shipped to China after authorization by the General Administration of Customs on a pilot basis.
Having been strictly inspected by Pingxiang Customs, this shipment was taken directly to a local processing plant.
"Vietnamese passion fruit usually ripens in October when our domestic supply is nearly exhausted, so importation will benefit both sides," said Zhang Xinwen , chairman of an agricultural company based in Pingxiang.
As China's biggest land port for fruit imports, Youyiguan has witnessed more and more Vietnamese agriculture products brought in to China. According to the China-Vietnam joint statement on further strengthening and deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, the two countries will further expand their agricultural exchanges and boost trade.
