Fruit imports to China from South-East Asia suppliers like Vietnam and Thailand have been disrupted by Covid-19 restrictions in South China.
The measures implemented by authorities in Dongxing in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region – a major hub for fruit imports – have made fruit traders to turn to domestic suppliers if possible.
Operations at Dongxing port have been suspended since 21 December 2021 with fruit containers remaining trapped in the port.
