Durian Export Inspection Creates Traffic Chaos in Dong Nai

The recent surge in durian exports has created an unexpected logistical challenge for Dau Giay town in Dong Nai province. While the demand for Vietnamese durian, particularly for export to China, is a positive sign for farmers and the agricultural economy, the sheer volume of trucks has overwhelmed local infrastructure. Residents and authorities are grappling with the immediate consequences: traffic jams, damaged roads, and potential safety hazards.
