Solution for Exporting Vietnamese Agricultural Products to China During the Border Congestion?

A lot of vehicles of agricultural products exporting to China were congested in border gates.

However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the trade circuit between the two countries was limited, China announced to shorten open time at Tan Thanh and Coc Nam border from 8 down to 5 hours per day and close on weekends. China only accepts import-export of cargo through 5 border gates in Lang Son province, in particular, as per notice from Pingxiang authority, from 7 Apr 2020, secondary gates Tan Thanh and Coc Nam only work 5 hours/day (8 to 11:00, 12 to 14:00) and close on Saturday Sunday and holidays. China only maintains import via 5 borders: Friendship, Dong Dang International Railway Station, Chi Ma, Tan Thanh, Coc Nam. Other small border gates are close and impose strict pandemic control on border trades.

Specifically, as of the beginning of April 2020, there are about 700 vehicles of agricultural products congesting at Tan Thanh border gate, 600 vehicles at Huu Nghi border gate; this congestion has a huge impact on Vietnamese agricultural exporters, causing decrease of cargo quality and increase a lot of cost.
