Mekong Delta: Logistics problems hamper agri exports
As the Vietnamese Mekong Delta does not have enough deep-water ports or warehousing, transport costs have been surging, which in turn caused agriculture product competitivity to drop.
Mekong Delta contributes 90 percent of the country’s rice exports, 65 percent of seafood exports, and 70 percent of fruit exports.
It has a total seven ports, of which the largest is Long An International Port in southern Long An Province. The latter can accommodate cargo ships with a capacity of 70,000 tons. The second largest is Cai Cui Port in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, which can handle 20,000 ton cargo vessels. It also has 57 inland waterway ports.
