Vietnam fruits lose ground to Thai imports even as ASEAN threat looms
Vietnamese fruit sellers are selling more Thai vegetables, making it harder for local vegetable growers to compete.
Thailand is now the largest exporter of vegetables and fruits to Vietnam after surpassing China early last year.
Be, who has a fruit shop on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Can Tho, said Vietnamese consumers do not prefer local fruits not only because they are of lower quality but also because they are notorious for being treated with chemicals.
