On October 25, at Song Than International Transit Station (Di An city, Binh Duong province), Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company (Ratraco) in collaboration with FADO iExport Joint Stock Company held a ceremony to launch the first train carrying fresh coconuts for export to Guangzhou (China).
Implementing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Vietnam has now officially exported many agricultural products to the Chinese market; including fresh coconuts, which have just been approved by China for official import from Vietnam. Previously, fresh coconuts from Vietnam were exported to more than 15 countries around the world. This is a fruit that is harvested all year round and when transporting fresh coconuts for export, it is necessary to use standard refrigerated containers, keeping the temperature stable throughout the journey.

The first batch of fresh coconuts exported from Song Than International Transit Station to Guangzhou (China) included 3 containers weighing 67.5 tons originating from Tien Giang province with a value of about 220,000 Yuan. It is expected that this batch of fresh coconuts will arrive at its destination within 7 days. Transporting the first batch of fresh coconuts exported to China by rail is a new mode of transportation, with the advantages of stable transportation time, quick customs procedures for import and export to China, and lower logistics costs compared to road transport.

This is also the solution that FADO iExport Joint Stock Company and Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company hope to coordinate to transport fresh coconuts to reduce congestion and road congestion at the Vietnam-China border gate, thereby helping to ensure the quality of agricultural products exported to Chinese consumers. At the ceremony, representatives of Railway Transport and Trade Joint Stock Company and FADO iExport Joint Stock Company said that choosing to transport fresh coconuts for export by rail helps ensure the quality of fresh, delicious products when they reach Chinese consumers. At the same time, it demonstrates professionalism and commitment in providing the best products to the international market; both reducing logistics costs for businesses of both countries and contributing to increasing the output of transporting Vietnam's agricultural products for export by rail.
