Agricultural products are exported to 180 countries and territories. However, Vietnamese agricultural products suffer from logistic costs that make competition difficult on the international market, costs which are higher than other countries in the region. The issues have been raised by experts at a conference on agricultural development.
The lack of cold supply chains in transportation, storage, and distribution raises the rate of losses and deficiencies of agricultural products in Vietnam to 25% and 45 % of exported fruits. It not only affects the quality of agricultural products, but also raises logistic costs.
