Vietnamese frozen fruit and vegetables: cold storage and new standards.

• Actual operating capacity of deep-processing facilities: 60–80%, compared with design capacity, due to a lack of cold-storage infrastructure and shared logistics centers.
• Registration dossiers under GACC (General Administration of Customs of China) Notice 150 of 2026: from 20 items down to 10 items, the number of registration information items is reduced from 20 to 10. Issued at the end of October 2026. Notice 150.
• Approval period for valid dossiers under Notice 150: 3 working days, Chinese customs receives and approves within 3 working days; incorrect data leads to a request for correction or cancellation of the registration code.
• China's share of fruit and vegetable exports in the first 9 months of 2026: 64.8%, USD 4.72 billion, up 22.4% year on year.

Do not confuse record sales figures with the capacity to hold goods, deep processing and cold storage are the real problem.

Freezing preserves value. Standards preserve the market.
