Sustainability of Fresh Fruit Exports from Indochina countries to China (2018_2_40_027)

Outline

Exports of fresh fruits from Indochina countries to China have been rising in recent years.

Is this the result of China’s exploitation of natural resources in neighboring countries, or can it be a driver of sustainable rural development, especially in the landlocked regions of the Indochina countries? Drawing on the perspectives from analyses of the international trade of fresh fruits and vegetables, we shed light on the supply chains of fresh fruit exports to China. We clarify the supply chain structures that have underpinned the rapid growth of fresh fruit exports and examine the challenges for their sustainable growth.
