HÀ NỘI — While demand for imported agricultural produce is high in Europe, the ongoing pandemic is causing problems for exporters in Việt Nam and throughout Asia, leading to a possible disruption in supply.
Industry experts say the biggest problem in the industry is no longer a lack of available containers and higher freight rates at sea, but the congestion of goods due to the pandemic.
At the end of last year, Vietnamese businesses accelerated the export of goods, but a series of orders had to be stored and renegotiated due to the lack of empty containers and the sudden increase in freight rates.
According to data, sea freight rates for export goods through the European and American markets have recently increased by seven to ten times.
