Sustainability of Fresh Fruit Exports from Indochina to China (2018_2_40_027)
Outline
Exports of fresh fruit from countries in Indochina to China have been rising in recent years. Is this better understood as 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 perspectives from analyses on the international trade of fresh fruit and vegetables, we shed light on the supply chains of fresh fruit exports to China. We also clarify the supply chain structures that have underpinned the rapid growth of fresh fruit exports and examine the challenges for sustainable growth.
